The Light of You
Naerion
I was peeling off the layers of my skin
Trying to find the rot that grew within
A hollow shell, a dusty carousel
Spinning round inside a personal hell
But then you beamed a light from outer space
And rearranged the atoms of my face
The gravity was crushing me flat
But you lifted me up just like that
Now I'm floating, zero degrees
Planting flowers in my arteries
Wash the mud off of my spirit, make it clear
I haven't felt this weightless in a year
Every scar is turning into gold
I am young again, I was so old
Holographic heart, beating true
Everything captures the light of you
You're the shimmer in the water, you're the glow
The only kind of safety that I know
You cover me in velvet, soft and deep
You're the only promise that I keep
I used to think that love was just a trap
A bear claw snapping shut, a thunder clap
So I hid inside the caves of yesterday
Scared that any Sun would burn away
But you are not a fire, you're the Moon
Glowing gently in the afternoon
The gravity was crushing me flat
But you lifted me up just like that
No more heavy boots on the ground
I like the way you turn down the sound
Wash the mud off of my spirit, make it clear
I haven't felt this weightless in a year
Every scar is turning into gold
I am young again, I was so old
Holographic heart, beating true
Everything captures the light of you
You're the shimmer in the water, you're the glow
The only kind of safety that I know
You cover me in velvet, soft and deep
You're the only promise that I keep
Dissolve the salt
Erase the fault
I am the moss
You are the rock
Connect the veins
Unlock the chains
Soft Soft Soft
Wash the mud off of my spirit, make it clear
I haven't felt this weightless in a year
Holographic heart, beating true
Everything captures the light of you
The light of you
