Who knows what we tell the dark
when shadows close around blotting out
our only light our only hope
do you long to be more than this
this life deludes between the days
await release without hope again and again
in the darkness shadows in mourning
realms of silence lead the night
i am nobodies child a ragged creature
impoverished at your behest in my silence
when there's no warmth left in the sun
as the days draw by when we hide
in the world in the darkness
shadows in mourning lead the night
here where i hide without your compassion
in a world devoid of warmth
in a world devoid of light
is the face that deludes my perfection
or my perversion continually turning
towards the sky over and over again and again
when shadows close around blotting out
our only light our only hope
do you long to be more than this
this life deludes between the days
await release without hope again and again
in the darkness shadows in mourning
realms of silence lead the night
i am nobodies child a ragged creature
impoverished at your behest in my silence
when there's no warmth left in the sun
as the days draw by when we hide
in the world in the darkness
shadows in mourning lead the night
here where i hide without your compassion
in a world devoid of warmth
in a world devoid of light
is the face that deludes my perfection
or my perversion continually turning
towards the sky over and over again and again
