Make Light Paroles

dangling, shimmering
torn and tattered and crowned
oh i'll not be told no to, no more

you must believe to hear me sing this
messy morsels of my self assuring love
oh it's painful kneading
yes i lie and i wrangle with prospective angels
that glare me down in face me with all i do wrong
why do they all look like me?

so i try
and i scream and i beg and i sigh
just to prove i'm alive
and it's alright
cause tonight theres a way i'll make light
of my trecherous life

if i had hands i'd hold up high
my lofty dreams and my alibi's real name but i'm quick to deny

so i try
and i scream and i beg and i sigh
just to prove i'm alive
and it's alright
cause tonight theres a way i'll make light
of my trecherous life
make light
