lyrics

Twenty years too late you first felt the dark
that makes things dim, so you gave in and you called home
You won't take the gift, you won't sink that low
All the red stops are building blocks that you have found

You stayed out all night looking for a fight
You saw the light let off by those with too much luck
Neither land nor sea will be called your grave
You seek the flame that cleanses all their memories

You'll take the known path, the safe bet
say "I have things to lose, I can't just throw this away"
You tap your foot, look to the door
say "I have things to do, I can't just sit here"

but we'll sing songs to you we know that you'll love
We'll sing 'til you're asleep, and then we'll go

Your brothers & sisters, we're all here
And nothing good will come of it

and you found your light and you took it home
Made it your own, made sure it'd never want for love
but there is no cage that could make it stay
You spend your days searching for ways to block the door

You'll take the known path, the safe bet
say "I have things I need, I can't just throw this away"
You tap your foot, look to the door
say "I have things to do, I can't just sit here"

but we'll sing songs to you we know that you'll love
We'll sing 'til you're asleep, and then we'll go

Your brothers & sisters, we're all here
And nothing good will come of it
