In This Light Lyrics

David Usher

Hey, are you asleep now?
I thought I heard you talking,
Cause they're draining out my heart,
And I think I know what's coming,
They can't leave this alone
My oceans are expanding,
And all us fish are drowning inside,
There's pollution on the tide,
And this ship of fools I'm rolling with,
Can't keep me alive
But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by
You know that we're sinking,
All your jewels are dragging us down,
But I'm running out of blood taking money over love,
We can't hope to survive,
So ask me if I'm hungry,
While everybody's starving inside,
But the doctor's never there and this medication,
Doesn't really keep me controlled
But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by
You,
You know that I'm not that strong,
No one can get out,
I'm not able now,
You,
I know you're here to change,
We all stay the same,
I'm not able now
Are you asleep now,
I thought I heard you talking,
Cause they're draining out my heart,
And I think I know what's coming,
They can't leave this alone
But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by
