lyrics

Another thought, heavy in my head
A slight draft
Another day still heavy in my stomach
I hear a door open
And in the stillness, the light transformed
The second hands are crawling
It’s a chain reaction, a feedback loop
The night folds over with the world inside
And in the dense darkness we need evidence
To see dead centre, the bull’s eye
The poise of life has faded through
I see it when it disappears
In the night, feeling every wave
Getting to the heart of it
Getting to the heart of it
Getting to the heart of the night
Feeling every wave
Night
In the night
Now turn it off
Turn out the light
