Andy Williams (Every Time I Die) - Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit lyrics

Creeping up a wall of gla** I'm entirely made of sand Lurching up. Feeding back What the canyon wants, the canyon gets And the canyon craves an apology and a pound of flesh I thought I felt I thought I saw I thought I knew So much chatter Let there be shade Un-illuminate Nothing will change If you don't lead with your shadow Let there be shade Un-illuminate Exhale the plague Cloud your vision An unpainted corner My kingdom come Silence tells me I can't escape it Now we write our names on the moon in blood I have set us back twenty centuries All the letters sent with no address Is he talking to or talking down to me? They'll k** us They'll k** us They'll k** us, if they have the chance I hear their conversations They'd k** us if they had the chance I'll be the first to take it I still feel like someone is watching Though I'm not sure if that someone is listening It don't matter much to my suffering Because I know for a fact no one's answering Let there be shade Un-illuminate Nothing will change If you don't lead with your shadow I was on the shoulders of leviathans But I couldn't see through the fog of anger And I failed myself like I did before My work is lost. All my reckoning Back to sin. Back to shame Back into the quicksand Guarding an empty house Guarding an empty house I have lost everything I had found Sorrow will overcome Sorrow will overcome
