Light Shines Black
Veiled Truths: Embracing Darkness in 'Light Shines Black'
Lyrics
At the side of the world
Observing from a distant or unfamiliar place
I watch your painless face
Seeing your serene and pain-free expression
It's a veil that covers all
There's a cover hiding something false
The falsehood that you carry
The deceptive facade you carry
It is true,
It is a fact
It is true
Reiterating the truth
That I've never been here before
I have never experienced this situation
Now, that's a lie,
However, that statement is untrue
That's a lie
It's a repeated untruth
That has been used before
It's a falsehood often used
All the shining light
All the bright positivity
they've hidden away inside
They've concealed it internally
All the dying light
All the positivity fading away
the light shines black inside
The positivity turns dark and obscure within
At side of the world
Again, observing from an unfamiliar place
I watch the painless ones
Observing those who are pain-free
I am an insect
Feeling insignificant and vulnerable
Waiting to be devoured
As if waiting to be consumed or destroyed
It is true,
Again, it is a truth
It is true
Reaffirming the truth
That I never wrote
I have not previously composed these words
These words before
However, that's a falsehood
Now, that's a lie
A recurring untruth between us
That we reuse
We recycle this untruth whenever we're alone
Everytime we are alone
Again, all the positivity
All the shining light
They've hidden it internally
They've hidden away inside
All the positivity fading away
All the dying light
The positivity turns dark and obscure within
The light shines black inside
The positivity becomes obscure and dark inside
