In a Light

Truth has failed, equity has fled Curiosity is in a kind of freeze Wonder's almost dead Callous creeps pull you to the pit Sanctity is sold, dignity for coal It's all gone to shit A scream on every channel A meanness in the soul A fever born on wind Born-again contagion taking hold I saw my girl running across the field As lost as anyone She tried to be your sun I try to be your shield I sold my soul, now you control a stake I'm beaten down and hit I'm crippled and unfit I'm one of God's own make You shoot up awake with your hand on the phone Afraid of what you see And feeling just like me Defeated and alone Do you catch yourself half-proud of being cold? Love is all around you, though Love is all around you, though Love is all around you, though Didn't you know? Love is all around you, though Inner dark within the outer light Outer dark inside the inner light In a light In a light In a light In a light
