Too Bleak for Daylight Songtext
von soapless

I wanted to tell you a story
And maybe if someone was a little kinder to her, I would
I have become a songwriter without words
A white rose with poisoned thorns

I′m sorry I really thought it would be different by now
But I feel like a latent image trapped in little halide crystals
A picture waiting to be developed
Sitting around for light to gently hold me in its arms
I think I'll die trying to feel alive

An ocean filled with songs
(one day I′ll come home)
Where can I warm my toes
One day I'll be whole
(one day I'll come home)
Am I too bleak for you

I feel like a stranger in my own story
A thief in my house
Not fitting in yet not special enough


My fingers are always stained with nicotine and I′m not even sure I am where I′m supposed to be
So I lay down my skin on paper for you to read
I crawl outside myself to sing
Swallowed, unsaid words and unpolished pieces of my soul
It's hard to heal when pain is all I know

The moonlight kissed my scars
(one day I′ll come home)
Where can I leave my past
One day I'll be whole
(one day I′ll come home)
Am I too bleak for you
♪
(whispers)
My memories like fireflies preserved in a jam jar
There's a crippling affliction torturing my nights
I never dared to think that one day I′d be scared of daylight
The trees waved goodbye, cold sand is digging its claws into my smile
Piercing threads of longing into my heart
The waves taught me how to yearn and the darkness showed me what is love
So if your soul feels bleak and your spark seems small
Try to hold on
Don't let go


I'm far away from shore
(one day I′ll come home)
Where can I rest my soul
One day I′ll be whole
(one day I'll come home)
Am I too bleak for you
