Mouths of Babes - Brighter In The Dark lyrics

Oh, my friend Was it quiet at the end? Was your voice sore from trying? Were your bones bent from crying? Cause I know how the dark Makes its way into your heart And whispers in your ear That it's better over here Oh, your heart Was an aching open part Growing outside with the weeds Like a mouth you could not feed And every waking day Was another debt to pay From an empty penny jar On the backseat of a car Now I guess you know What it's like to lead yourself back home What it's like to face it all alone Now you're with the moon and with the stars So tell me, is it brighter in the dark? Oh, this world Is an empty handed girl With a mouth too full of words And a sky too full of birds And the silent strings On her lonesome violin Will always feel her hands Though the years had other plans Now I guess you see What it's like to set your body free What it's like to have a place to be Now you're in the night sky with the stars So tell me, is it brighter in the dark? Tell me, is it brighter in the dark? Tell me, is it brighter in the dark?
