Story Behind The Song

A song about the impact isolation (something we all feel right now for a lot of different reasons) but that ends in defiant hopefulness.

Song Description

The speaker is frustrated from being at a distance (it might be a lover, God, or human connection in general). But he vows to break out of the state of loneliness and isolation and stretch towards the light (whatever form it takes).

Lyrics

Who are you between these lines
Above the earth, below the sky
The blur of lonely in my eyes
Lays shadows on the shifting night

I've got a fondness for goodbyes
They turn the dimming bedroom light
On the separate corners of a fight
Two stars colliding in the night

Still I try
To find
Your light
But there's nothing but the night
Inside
And I try to find the light
But there's nothing but the night

From the bottom of a glass
There ain't no glistening lash
There ain't no lips for me to linger on
No kiss for once and all at last

But I know this cursed black
For it's creased within the cracks
Among my beating heart that lacks
A porch light's will to pull you back

Still I try
To find
Your light
But there's nothing but the night
Inside
And I try to find the light
But there's nothing but the night

So leave me a candle
There in the window
To wrestle the angels
And if you don't then
I'll know I drifted
Where you can't follow

Still I try
To find
Your light
But there's nothing but the night
Inside
And I try to find the light
But there's nothing but the night

But that's alright
It's alright
I'll try to find the light
I'll try to find the light
It's alright
It's alright
I'll try to find the light
I'll try to find the light
It's alright
