Brighter In The Dark Lyrics

Mouths Of Babes Brighter In The Dark

Oh, my friend
Was it quiet at the end?
Was your voice sore from trying?
Were your bones bent from crying?
Cause I know how the dark
Makes its way into your heart
And whispers in your ear
That it's better over here

Oh, your heart
Was an aching open part
Growing outside with the weeds
Like a mouth you could not feed
And every waking day
Was another debt to pay
From an empty penny jar
On the backseat of a car

Now I guess you know
What it's like to lead yourself back home
What it's like to face it all alone
Now you're with the moon and with the stars
So tell me, is it brighter in the dark?

Oh, this world
Is an empty handed girl
With a mouth too full of words
And a sky too full of birds
And the silent strings
On her lonesome violin
Will always feel her hands
Though the years had other plans

Now I guess you see
What it's like to set your body free
What it's like to have a place to be
Now you're in the night sky with the stars
So tell me, is it brighter in the dark?
Tell me, is it brighter in the dark?
Tell me, is it brighter in the dark?
