lyrics

Am I a seed today?
My stomach hurts
As I wisp through the tarnished, worn-out beliefs
-The things I hid deep in the shadows
A pile of dust and decay,
The end of a friendship,
A race with no value
I can’t believe that year after year escaped

I like to lie in pain
The sting pulls me the other way
Welcomes the chance to feel what my hindsight illuminates

I want to be the light
I want to shine where eyes can’t see
I’d like to break the dawn
From the night, I could liberate

It seems I’m getting worse today…
My body aches
As I squeeze through these fractured, shabby beliefs
-The fiends I just can’t escape

I’d like to lie in wait
One day, you’ll walk the other way,
And I’ll steal the chance to prove I can do better

God knows this suffering is surely more important
Than just wading in the shallows
When the lifeboats come in, o’ I’ll dive!
If I drown, then I drown,
But at least I’ll know I tried

I want to be the light
I want to shine where eyes can’t see
I’d like to break the dawn
From the night, I could liberate
I want to bring the fight
Evil is gray from far away
I’d like to face the dawn
From the night I could liberate us all

‘Til I go blind!
I’ll hold steadfast to false hope
‘Cause I’m tired of defeat
I’m so sick of being nothing
-Of losing myself—slack in the tide
What would it take to just move on?
To let me reach out?

I want to be the light
I want to shine where eyes can’t see
I’d like to break the dawn
From the night, I could liberate
I want to bring the fight
Evil is gray from far away
I’d like to face the dawn
From the night I could liberate us all

I want to be the light of the dawn

The Awry Ascent
by Hungry Lights

supported by 46 fans who also own “From The Night”

The first album I've listened to from this guy, on his youtube channel. At first I wasn't sure about how I liked it, but Umber Tower sold it to me, and I eventually came to love all of his music. I FINALLY got around to buying all of the albums! Yay! My other favorite has to go to Umber Tower Donald Wilson
