Lightswitch Lyrics by ​dredg

The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion

2009

[Verse 1]
Was put in a round room and told to sit in the corner
While they washed my brain with a dirty rag
Was given a hammer and told to build a fortress
With walls impossible to penetrate

[Chorus 1]
You're the only thing I need
And you've become the only thing that keeps me breathing
Without you I'd be
In a dark place with no light switch
An open wound without a stitch
Maybe now you will understand

[Verse 2]
No matter how stable your foundation may seem
Everything is crashing down on me
With paper cuts on finger tips
Blackened eyes and broken lips
Forever wounded it's hard to tell

[Chorus 2]
You're the only thing I need
Whether I fail or succeed
Within my blindness, you're all I see
The morning fog, sun burns away
A predator's eye without its prey
Maybe now you will understand

[Post-Chorus]
I won't quit on you
No, I won't quit on you
I won't let it end
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
