Lighthouse in a Silk Night

from Hello Sleep by Phoenix Mundy

/

lyrics

Lighthouse in a silk night waving out into the sky
and you shudder and you cry
lighthouse in a silk night waving out into the sky
and you act like you're in flight

So you lie low and you sit tight
ditch the curved line and then stop to burn your pride
never wanted to be shy and it aches to try
to dance with no one by your side

Garish grin, the wind sticks to your skin
and all your thoughts cascading down to clot and latch onto one thing
two hours to go til you resign and slide back in
or take a twenty minute shower in which the razor cuts your shin
a pallid light and to you the soap smells sickeningly nice
petroleum and artificial spice
there to wallow, you slump against the tiles and hope the ceiling doesn't follow

So you lie low and you sit tight
ditch the curved line and then stop to burn your pride
never wanted to be shy and it aches to try
to dance with no one by your side

Always out of sight
cause the grey kept coming by
never wanted to be so shy
but it will make your world to dance with no one by your side
