Refused by Light Lyrics
The light refused us with designed intent
Into darkness we retreated to seek defense
With patience and logic new hope extends
To be different, to be lucky, and to die happy
So I go down the staircase and out the front door
There is no time left to waste, a lifetime spent being choked
When I'm at school it's like I'm dead, then the weekend comes and I resurrect
These old fears and these old dreams, they follow,they're chasing me
To wipe the cobwebs off my tongue and try to speak those ancient words again
It was patience and logic that killed true love
Make it easy, stop believing that you can trust someone
Go find yourself a dry place, where the storm can't touch you any more
Lay down and let time waste
A lifetime is being choked
'Cause there is no place left to feel at home
The years have past and I'm alone
With these same fears and these dead dreams
They strangle, they're killing me
To get this far
Into darkness we retreated to seek defense
With patience and logic new hope extends
To be different, to be lucky, and to die happy
So I go down the staircase and out the front door
There is no time left to waste, a lifetime spent being choked
When I'm at school it's like I'm dead, then the weekend comes and I resurrect
These old fears and these old dreams, they follow,they're chasing me
To wipe the cobwebs off my tongue and try to speak those ancient words again
It was patience and logic that killed true love
Make it easy, stop believing that you can trust someone
Go find yourself a dry place, where the storm can't touch you any more
Lay down and let time waste
A lifetime is being choked
'Cause there is no place left to feel at home
The years have past and I'm alone
With these same fears and these dead dreams
They strangle, they're killing me
To get this far
