Dredg

Lyrics to Lightswitch



I was put in a round room

And told to sit in the corner

While they wash my brain with a dirty rag



I was given a hammer

And told to build a fortress

With walls impossible to penetrate



You're the only thing I need

And you've become the only thing

That keeps me breathing, without you I'd be

In a dark place, no lightswitch

An open wound without a stitch

Maybe now you will understand



No matter how stable

The foundation may seem

Everything is crashing down on me



With papercuts on fingertips

Blackened eyes, and broken lips

Forever wounded, it's hard to tell



You're the only thing I need

Whether I fail or succeed

Within my blindness, you are all I see

The morning fog sun burns away

A predator's eye without its prey

Maybe now you will understand



I won't quit on you

No, I won't quit on you

I won't run away,

Ever, ever, ever, ever...
