Light Of The Day
Lost in Shadows: Will Joseph Cook's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Oh no, the innocence has died
The sense of purity or naivety has been lost or destroyed.
We slip and fall into the bitter night
We stumble and descend into a harsh and unpleasant period.
I wretch and let you slide from pride to envy
I feel disgusted and allow you to transition from feeling proud to feeling envious.
Why'd you have to throw another line?
Why did you have to say something hurtful or damaging?
Now I see you in every place I go
I now perceive reminders of you wherever I go.
Oh, ain't that matter
Oh, isn't that significant or relevant?
I'm trying to bottle it up
I'm attempting to contain my emotions.
You know?
Do you understand?
Do you sleep in the light of the day?
Do you find solace during the day?
The things you lock up aren't for you, babe
The things you keep hidden aren't meant for you.
Are you happy I'm gone?
Are you content now that I'm no longer around?
Do you pray to feel nothing at all?
Do you wish to feel nothing or numbness?
Oh, I still feel you watch me from your walls
I still sense your gaze observing me from where you are.
You're not happy alone
You aren't content when you're by yourself.
So far you've hardly moved at all
You've made minimal progress or change.
I dip to dab and grab the bit of light
I bend or maneuver to access a small amount of brightness.
I spoke to God, he said he's broken hearts in half before,
I spoke to God, who mentioned breaking hearts before, suggesting making amends by sacrificing something valuable.
So spill a little blood to make it right
So, spill some blood metaphorically to make things right.
Oh, now I see you in every place I go
I continue to encounter reminders of you wherever I go.
Oh, ain't that matter
Oh, isn't that significant or relevant?
I'm trying to bottle it up
I'm trying to contain my emotions.
You know?
Do you understand?
Do you sleep in the light of the day?
Do you find solace during the day?
The things you lock up aren't for you, babe
The things you keep hidden aren't meant for you.
Are you happy I'm gone?
Are you content now that I'm no longer around?
Do you pray to feel nothing at all?
Do you wish to feel nothing or numbness?
Oh, I still feel you watch me from your walls
I still sense your gaze observing me from where you are.
You're not happy alone
You aren't content when you're by yourself.
Now every night I just think of you
Now, every night, you occupy my thoughts.
Every time that I'm getting high
Every time I get intoxicated or high, I think of you.
I don't know how the story ends
I'm uncertain about the outcome of our situation.
All I know is I lost a friend
All I know is that I've lost a friend.
Do you sleep in the light of the day?
Do you find solace during the day?
The things you lock up aren't for you, babe
The things you keep hidden aren't meant for you.
Are you happy I'm gone?
Are you content now that I'm no longer around?
Do you pray to feel nothing at all?
Do you wish to feel nothing or numbness?
Oh, I still feel you watch me from your walls
I still sense your gaze observing me from where you are.
You're not happy alone
You aren't content when you're by yourself.
