Like I'd ever let you leave

Without a scar

Did you really think that I would

Convince myself that I should

I have seen the light falling from the sky

And I will see the tears streaming from your eyes

And I will have no mercy

My god, I will have no mercy

In the darkness of the light
Describing a state of ambiguity or contradiction in the interplay between darkness and light.
In the shelter of your frozen night

In the place that only we have been

In this all too human mask of "sin"

I never wanted to be more than what I asked of you

You knew it would end this way

In the darkness of the light

You read in between the lines that only you had seen
Acknowledging the listener's ability to read between the lines, implying deeper understanding.

Don't waste the hours of this day

Like you give anyone a reason to live
Criticizing the listener for not providing a reason for others to live.
Their consolation isn't true

You know half the blame falls on you

And you can take
