about

Written sometime in early 2010, somewhere.

lyrics

Sometimes I am terrified by the amount of things I love
Not the least of which is because all these things will pass away
and then I will be hiding in the dark

I know nothing gold can stay, but here's to trying to explain
that to a heart that thinks it's Midas, or at least the Denver Mint
and I am hiding in the dark

Cause you are the light
And you set me right

Because I love these girls and guys, my heart is trying to disguise
itself as something boring, unpalatable to all disasters
I am hiding in the dark

I can make a fake disaster, nothing problem, even faster
than the time it takes for all the truth to make it to my heart
and I am hiding in the dark

Cause you are the light
And you set me right

Darkness isn't harsh
It's just reality, it's absence of delight
Darkness creeps in from the corners
telling me that nothing is alright
You beat back the demons
take the trash out
tell me you will win this fight

You, you've already been here,
and you've already won

Cause you are the light
And you set me right
