"Vivid Light" lyrics

"Vivid Light"

It's a fallen fallacy
Waiting at your window
In the corner, reaching out
Nothing makes it better
Still you try and book a room
Hoping something comes to you
And still you're dry

It's like you've never touched
A six-string guitar
And the more you write
You never get far

He has seen the vivid light
Thievish in his disdain
As a life of honour falls
I find myself in rage
I don't want to be alone
Naked on the sixth floor
Then the music starts

It's like you've never seen
Your anger at large
And the more you hide
The smaller you are

Perfect nights, that still deceive me every week
I couldn't eat
I wasn't falling for the hope
Something that you said you're used to
But now it's sad in May
A harder truth to take in
And I swore I thought you'd make it through the night
So I could see you at noon

I couldn't wait to bring you home to him
How could I think it's alright?

It's like you've never seen
Your anger at large
And the more you hide
The smaller you are

Perfect nights, that still deceive me every week
I couldn't eat
I wasn't falling for the hope
Something that you said you're used to
But now it's sad in May
A harder truth to take in
And I swore I thought you'd make it through the night
So I could see you at noon

I couldn't wait to bring you home to him
How could I think it's alright?
