Bittersweet Lyrics by Nightwell

Nightwell

2020

[Verse 1]
Surrounded by my isolation
The need to act and grief from lack
I was sad to say I was Impatient
The only joy here was platted and cracked
Wasted my days
I had withered away
(Wow I never felt happy)
Succumbed to the numbness
I'd all but decayed
(It was the rain that had shaped me)

[Pre-Chorus]
But now I can’t help but feel rusted

[Chorus]
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise

[Post-Chorus]
You don’t seem it
Well you should see me

[Verse 2]
I was the problem I clung to
And ever since it came out you said you
Could see the clouds turn pink in August
I was every bit as nervous as you were
No idea why I was freezing till it was too late
Yeah it was too late
Too cold

[Chorus]
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
Breathing the air again
I feel similar to you
Lonely we are

[Bridge]
Didn’t know you saw me so bright
But to be honest might not make it through the night
If you could leave me the light on
I would appreciate if you could keep the light on

[Chorus]
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
Breathing the air again
I feel similar to you
Lonely we are

[Outro]
Save your lies
You’ll seem civilized
