Make Light Lyrics

Passion Pit Make Light

So, now we see
Comes burying my burnt remains
These puddles clouds
Oh I, I understand now

But darkness falls like shattered pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Torn and tattered yet crowned
Oh, I'll not be told 'no' to 'no more!'

You must believe to hear me sing these
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh it's painful kneading

Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?

So I try, and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life

If I had hands I'd hold up high my
Lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
But I've no strength

So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
There's a ghost in your eye
There is someone that knows more than I but I'm quick to deny
