Kill the Lights

A perfect silence begging you to speak
An anchor driving down inside you holding down your feet
Kill the lights and just start it over, start it over
Again we’ll fake it, we’ll beg to make it
Forget everything we said and just start it over, start it over
A new spark lights inside me
Feel it, looming, ready to be heard
See it, blooming, pulling you aside with anguish
I fight for inches longing for a better way to end this war
With subtlety we both implore, a silent wish to be ignored
Kill the lights and just start it over, start it over
Again we’ll fake it, we’ll beg to make it
Forget everything we said and just start it over, start it over
A new spark lights inside me
When the world grows cold and feelings die, you forget how it feels to be alive
Then the seasons change to perfect skin and shining eyes
Reminding you of warmth you felt inside
So passionate
You fashion what you want
So deceptive
It’s almost like you’re out to fool yourself
You believe you’ll wreck yourself and not have to concede
A million lies, they’ll counter back with fear and painful eyes
Will this anchor drown a man who won’t cut it loose
No matter how fast he keeps sinking
Kill the lights and just start it over, start it over
Again we’ll fake it, we’ll beg to make it
Forget everything we said and just start it over, start it over
A new spark lights inside me
