LYRICS:

NIGHT - 00:00

(We ought to leave a light on.)
{Leave a light on.}
(Underneath the moon.)
(Sitting in the sight of every eye.)
{I can feel them stew.}
(Open the [window, look out) and see me.]
[Slow, I am coming a long way to be]

(an accidental item.)
{Such as I am Mother’s only son.}
(Ever is the light on.)
[Is the light on ever meant to run?]
[Cold, but I’m outside and waiting to see]
(a glow in the snow, coming closer to me.)

{([Tonight,)} I’m arriving alive and alight.]
{([Tonight,)} all the black, {and the] grey (and the} white)
{([And I)} want to be like
(you are the one light]
{I want to see your)
eyes, looking back and out through mine.}

{Better when the light comes in the night-time,
opening the door.
Hoping to be right, it’s open every night,
so what’cha waiting for?
Open your window, look out and see them:
tines stabbed through eyes that the sides have condemned.}

{([Tonight,)} I’m arriving alive and alight.]
{([Tonight,)} all the black, {and the] grey (and the} white)
{([And I)} want to be like
(you are the one light]
{I want to see your)
eyes, looking back and out through mine.}

(Something is real.)
{Maybe not.}
{(Something is gone.)}
(Something is here.)
[Only thought.]
{(What do you want?)}
{([Everything else will fade away.])}

{([Tonight, I’m arriving alive and alight.
Tonight, all the black, and the grey and the white.
And I want to be like
you are the one light
I want to see your)]
eyes, looking back and into mine.}


LIGHT - 04:14

(I tried to leave the light on, but the bright sun eclipsed its feeble beams.
And sitting in the sight of that which blinds tore me at the seams.
Harsh palpitations that tunneled my view.
Eyesight grew warped, distorted and skewed.)

[An accidental item. Hear the light hum by the lonely son.
Striving to be right, I fight this sordid fight against the other one.
Cold? Sure I am, but I can’t help but be.
Transmute the pain ‘to kinetic energy.]

{Tonight, you’ve survived out of pity and spite.
All night, you have vied for your place in the light.
But I won’t be split in two;
won’t be him or you.
We will be combined, whether that be dead or alive.
Let’s blur these lines}

[Languish in the numbers, falling under.
Drowning in the code.
The questions we have pondered, time we’ve squandered.
Don’t you feel we’re owed?
Please, help decipher this life that we lead.
For each step that we take, the answer takes three.]

(Humility’s a virtue; pride, a sin,
or so it has been said.
But every time I’ve hurt you – or at least tried to -
you’ve laughed and smiled instead.
Kicked, scorned and damned by the forces that be.
Not ever once did you fall to your knees.)

([Tonight, we’ve survived out of pity and spite.
All night, we have vied for the black or the white.
But I want to be like
you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into
{mine])}

(Something will heal, lost in thought.)
{Something has dawned.}
[Something must feel, lest they rot.]
{Something has shone.}
{([All of the else will fade away])}

We ought to leave a light on,
leave a light on underneath the moon.
Sitting in the sight of every eye,
I believe in you.
Open the window, look out and see me.
That sad, sulking mess; this human you’re being.

Tonight, I’m arriving alive and alight.
Tonight, all the black, and the grey and the white.
And I want to be like
meek is the one light.
I want to see your
{([eyes looking back and out through mine,
with doubt consigned to drought,
let ardour sprout, ‘cos

tonight, I’m surmising the sum of my parts
alight, twined in Mind, and in Soul, and in Heart
could thrive, live, combined as one.
Fuse the moon and sun.
Change your point of views.
Let us variate these hues.])}
