Light Bulb Versus The Sun

from Tell Tales​/​Standing Stones A by weakmadewhole

lyrics

You turn me on and off like a light globe shining at the sun
You assure me that I'm pointless, but surely I've got one
A single pixel on a screen that flickers back and forth
I'm a highly poisonous snake with no teeth and no bite
I'm just another busted light globe but with no filament or light
Another obtuse angle waiting to be set right

CHORUS:
Oh my hands. Steady on the wheel as we go down
We're sinking ship without the misfortune of running aground
Oh my heart. Beating like a drum inside my chest
I'm a wayward son, corrected by the He who does know best

It's a sticky situation, a rock and a hard place
I'm so terrible at poker, I don't have a straight face
Father forgive me and pour out this mourning's portion of grace
Shut up, shut up! And leave me in my place
Everybody's dying, it's just at a difference pace
The eternal endless struggle of light and dark we chase
