The Light And The Glass

Tyler Read


With your eyes half closed you look at me 
And just know that I wont be leaving no matter how tired that I get 
And these hallways and silhouettes ring out like big cathedrals 
You're staring at the needle that's staring back at you 

Take this as a solemn promise 

The wires that hold you up the beauty that surrounds you 
Is taking its toll against the life left in you 
But now I see the brightness the angels in the silences 
The pride that can come from a scar 

Scar has been deepening. It grows with each incision 
The cut that always fails to mention. You love the way its leaving you 
So try to stay awake 
And try to do the best you can 
And when it comes around again I know 
You'll be waiting for the chance to say 

Take this as a solemn promise 

The wires that hold you up the beauty that surrounds you 
Is taking its toll against the life left in you 
But now I see the brightness the angels in the silences 
The pride that can come from a scar
