Canary Lyrics by Elliot Root

The Uncanny Valley

2021

[Verse 1]
Sometimes it gets dark in my imagination
(All these places I don't wanna go)
But you, canary in the coal mine
(Your sweetest song will always bring me home)
Home

[Chorus]
Your light is all I have, is all I have
Is all I have
Is all I need
If your light is all I have, is all I have
Is all I have
It's all I need

[Verse 2]
I never thought it could cut me so deep
Sometimes it pulls me away from my sleep
I'm watching the hours as they're slipping away from me
And I know there are things much bigger than this
When I am lifted out by the blissful sound
Canary calls to me

[Chorus]
Your light is all I have, is all I have
Is all I have
Is all I need
If your light is all I have, is all I have
Is all I have
It's all I need

[Bridge]
Said their name, everything movin' me
I believe in things that I haven't seen
Calibrate the spaces that fall in between
The black and the white and the grey
And I want you to know that I'm facing the road
The push and the pull its' taking it's toll
My canary always singing sweet songs
And calling me home

[Chorus]
Your light is all I have, is all I have
Is all I have
Is all I need
If your light is all I have, is all I have
Is all I have
It's all I need
