Three Months of Darkness
04:54

The colors are faded, the shadows half gone
Still eating breakfast with all the lights on
Closed all the windows 'cause they're of no use
Three months of darkness is nothing to lose
For just one look at you
Don't want to hole up or make friends with the moon
Or take in her colors, the purples and blues
I'm on a journey that I didn't choose
You're taking your time and I'm one lucky fool
To get just one look at you
The crickets and fireflies are my makeshift lovers at night
They kiss me and tell me I'm pretty
But I'll still be dreaming of daylight
I'm on a journey that I didn't choose
You're taking your time and I'm one lucky fool

When I sing
I know it's not me
It's just all the love
Anyone ever gave me
I've been pretending
Putting it on like lipstick
Rubbing it off before anyone sees me changed
I always thought you’d dressed me up in fur when it snows,
Silk in the moonlight
I knew you'd fall away when ocean waves ring
"Come swimming alone"
And I prefer my bare skin when I go
Into dark waves I go
All the love anyone ever gave me
Carved me out, gutted me
Cut me two smiling eyes so they could see
The light of my Jack-o-Lantern's candle
When I sing
I know it's not me
It's just a chorus of song from my family
All the love anyone ever gave me
Carved me out, gutted me
Cut me two smiling eyes
So they could see the light of my
Jack-o-Lantern's candle
