Artificial Light Lyrics by Emptyself

Nothing Follows, Nothing Stays

2011

[Verse 1]
I dont like artificial light
But i use it every night
No other way to see, no the day won't stay for me
And when the lights go out, memory gets me around
As i wander through the dark
But i can’t get very far
And once again i find, im no good at bein blind
And the light of every day, can never be replaced

[Chorus]
Don't mistake the true for the fake
A raft for an island, asleep for awake
There are so any ways to evade what's right in front of your face

If there’s a way, I'd rather not remain
So lost in disarray, my brain a battlеfield
Of the wounded and thе healed
And as my reach is sure
These hands could use support
To climb out of the trench
I keep on falling in

[Chorus]
Don't mistake the true for the fake
A raft for an island, asleep for awake
There are so any ways to evade what's right in front of your face

Drank you in, but I still thirst
Not the answer I thought you were
Always said, what's it worth
Not an anchor, only words

Drank you in, but I still thirst
Not the answer I though you were
Always said, what's it worth
Not an anchor, only words
