tell me you’re allowed to be
awake and steal
something hidden in the real
sealed but I feel this again
fill your cup
with your luck
you’re gonna need it
the shadow’s closing in
overwhelming me
foretelling my destiny
word for word
but you’re not too close
you never knew
who, who held the most
like you’ve been naming
that ghost
as you’re alternating
who becomes the host
only maybe then
when you show me
the holy hymn
I’ll be the one
to dry my eyes
if you let me in
like it’s on my mind
when it’s time to
me me memorize
the lightning tingling
feeling alright
fill your cup
with your luck
you’re gonna need it
the shadow’s closing in
overwhelming me
foretelling my destiny
if I play
we’ll, we’ll pray this ends
never ending light rays
are, are closing in
on and on if I stay
on and on if I gave
flickering off
and off and off again
sometimes I feel
the side burning off again
glory glowing on again
it races off to the end
I’ve been sworn forlorn
