lyrics

Me: "All I want is just the things I need,
But all I get is an empty tune.
These thoughts, they pass in 1s, and 2s and 3s.
When left alone they weep a sunny moon.

Will I be?
The -"

Shade: "Sun rises again."

Sun: "There's much to see,
If you wait patiently.
There's me and there's you,
And all that we do.

In the morning right at dawn,
High up in the sky,
No surprise, that my yawn,
Would lock a closed-shut eye."

Me: "I need to see this whole thing through for once,
But all I feel is the pull and tug of you.
The shade I crave is one that ends in view,
and the sun I shun is one that thinks of who?

Will I be?
The -"

Shade: "Sun rises again"

Me: "And again, and again...
I wake and find through the,
A wrong, a right,
A note that mimics light.
Ohhh... I don't need you tonight."

Shade: "Listen, don't worry about a thing.
We can practice all those-
Things we sing...
If you could feed me some passion,
Exhaustion is lashing out.
Bleeding, clotting, it's thoughtless and -
Rotting out -
All those thoughts in my brain,
(Sun & Shade: "My name")
I won't be the same...
Won't be the same."

Sun: "There's much to see,
If you wait patiently.
There's me and there's you,
And all that we do.

In the evening right at dusk,
When the sun closes its eyes,
No surprise that my yawn,
Would raise a closed-shut eye."

Me, Sun & Shade: "The sounds that you hear won't be here for long.
The sounds that you fear, in your own head...
Are the same sounds that won't let you go back to bed.
These sounds in your ear, are only in your head."
