Lyrics:

The ghosts from old silent Hollywood films
Black and white
Obviously, predominantly, white
The sexual abuse claims weren’t silenced
They were never spoken about
But they were oh so, oh so
Oh so, oh so very rife

It’s the allure of the light

Subtracting fear and anxiety
Isn’t as awfully easy at night
Not as it can be, not as it can be
In the day
Well it’s an altogether different thing
Or so said Hemingway

It’s the allure of the light

This isn’t just a desire to scale obscurity
Bored, beset by lazy comparisons
These daily, weekly, monthly
Obsessions don’t belong to you
Come on now, come on now
They could be anyones

It’s the allure of the night
