Kill the Lights - Silverstein

A perfect silence begging you to speak

An anchor driving down inside you holding down your feet

Kill the lights and just start it over, start it over

Again we’ll fake it, we’ll beg to make it

Forget everything we said and just start it over, start it over

A new spark lights inside me

Feel it, looming, ready to be heard

See it, blooming, pulling you aside with anguish

I fight for inches longing for a better way to end this war

With subtlety we both implore, a silent wish to be ignored

Kill the lights and just start it over, start it over

Again we’ll fake it, we’ll beg to make it

Forget everything we said and just start it over, start it over

A new spark lights inside me

When the world grows cold and feelings die, you forget how it feels to be alive

Then the seasons change to perfect skin and shining eyes

Reminding you of warmth you felt inside

So passionate

You fashion what you want

So deceptive

It’s almost like you’re out to fool yourself

You believe you’ll wreck yourself and not have to concede

A million lies, they’ll counter back with fear and painful eyes

Will this anchor drown a man who won’t cut it loose

No matter how fast he keeps sinking

Kill the lights and just start it over, start it over

Again we’ll fake it, we’ll beg to make it

Forget everything we said and just start it over, start it over

A new spark lights inside me
