lyrics

like a drunk at last call
like the moment before you fall
this light is lingering in me

like the words never said
or the memory of the dead
this light is lingering in you

i'm a poet in the rain
or i'm a teenage midnight train
i'm the remnant that survived
or i'm a bee in it's hive

deep in our dust
this light lingers, this light lingers on.

like the last chance that i get
or the last one after that
this light is lingering in you

like the hands reaching out
or the sleepless eyes of doubt
this light is lingering in me

i'm the memory of war
or i'm forgotten buried ore
i'm that stain that won't wash
or i'm those love letters you never lost

deep in our dust
we're chasing the birth and the dying in us
deep in our dust
this light lingers, this light lingers on

like the scar after the scalpel sings
like the wound that revolution brings
like the sea that hides beneath the ice
like when you and i both tried
