Lyrics

2. Dark Days

There are pieces of me in here
There are bits I left back there
There’s a home I cannot embrace
From beneath this shroud

There’s a scrap of chest laid still
Decorated against my will
How did things ever get this far?
How could I not see?

chorus

These are dark days
Revealed in dark ways
Dark lies and darker truths
When did darkness fall?
When did darkness fall?

Is that a movement I can feel?
Is that a crack the light reveals?
If I could only touch you once
With these shards of bone

There’s a crushed and gruesome grin
A swollen eye, a stubborn chin
But there remains the weight of grief
Above this soil

chorus

There’s no hill I cannot take
There’s no man I cannot break
There’s no thing I will not do
Just say the word
