Last of the Evening Light - Holding Absence

The light just blinks, the drill drills on

It blinds my eyes until the light is gone

Just another day in the dark

Just another day my hopeless heart is bleeding out

When will time run out?

I know that pain may be simply temporary

But when will the daylight come for me?

Just another day in the dark

Just another day my beating heart falls from my mouth

When will time run out?

We spend our lives trying to chase the sun, but every day it sets

And we’re plunged into darkness once again

Misery has a duality

Misery has a duality in me

Just one last question before I leave

Is this terminal, or will I heal?

I know that pain may be simply temporary

But when will the daylight come for me?

Of all the things in life that are not mine

I solely crave a well mind

I’ve spent yet another summer night

Questioning if joy is a birth-right

Through all the hardships and the darker times

You try your best just to survive

And when I close my eyes on life in time

I’ll see the last of the evening light

The last of the evening light
