Bbwav - No Lights Lyrics

Face to the ceiling plaster cracks like a web
Ruminating, renovating, nothing in my head
A mile long hallway, a figure at the end
Sending whispers through the walls, how it all began
Gutter water in the snow, the shadows leave the stains to show
Trimming with a file, stomach churning blackest bile
Keep it to yourself, nothing truly helps the helpless
Understatement of the age: "Human beings are selfish"
"Sink the knife deeper" said the true believers
Nothing shows clearer than the throes of fever
Voiceless cries from a choked out land
Ash covered lips, mouths filled with sand
There's no lights, no stars
Nothing left alive but the shadow in my heart
No lights, no stars
No more false hope, I'm still crying in the car
No lights, no stars
Keep your voice at bay so I can tear myself apart
No lights, no stars
Play the cards again, I keep quitting at the start
Been shaking long enough, either an hour or a month
Too many bitten hands, I've forgotten how to trust
Headed down a one way road, pouring out my luck
Don't know how much time I have, but I know it's almost up
Because there's something in the corner, something in the room
I can see its twisted shape, I can hear it when it moves
Crawling up the walls like the spiders in my dreams
In this state of mind, nothing's ever like it seems
Who can hear me now? Who can hear the screams?
Who can can cut me down? Who can count my rings?
Who can save me now? Am I the scourge of my of peace?
I'm turning from the corner, I'm running down the street
There's no lights
No stars
Running for my life but I don't think I'll get far
No lights
No stars
Climbing up the trees, fingers digging in the bark
No lights
No stars
Sitting in the rain and I'm quenching every spark
No lights
No stars
Leaning off the edge now I'm swimming in the dark
