The Man Who Had Everything Lyrics by Scott Matthews

What the Night Delivers

0

[Verse 1]
Long and cold breathe the nights
This sacred bin is our TV for the night
The flames swallow all that we discard
Thrown amongst the burnable
Are the stories many tell to warm the eyes
And the hearts of the starved
The new fish on the line reels in
And wants to know about the man who had everything
In the palm of his hand but then lost it all
'Cause the whirlwind of his greed
Swept away the only love he had

[Chorus]
The cold exposed my battle-scars
The nights unfolded feeding hearts
Of strangers who were eager to believe
But I can never find a way
Of shedding light on the darkest days
So I'll just sit here waiting for you
I'll just sit here waiting for you

[Verse 2]
As the glowing embers shield the frost
And the bitterness hits our silhouettes
My mouth is the only thing that thaws
From the heated, angry, sorry tales
That resonate this hollow empty jail
Never finding the door
'Cause somebody stole the light from me
And I couldn't see
There was no end in sight for me
To escape this criminal embrace
So now I melt in the arms of a fire that's dying

[Chorus]
The cold exposed my battle-scars
The nights unfolded feeding hearts
Of strangers who were eager to believe
But I can never find a way
Of shedding light on the darkest days
So I'll just sit here waiting for you
I'll just sit here waiting for you
