Signals Midwest It Left A Dent
I should be seeing my reflection
But the storefront's boarded up
I keep thinking one day I'll accept it
If I say it out loud enough
Cause every day I am reminded
Of a sound I once sustained, but
There ain't no silver lining shining
Only strength we had to gain
And so I say:
Portray me in shadow and shine
Remake me for new eyes
The product of pressure and concentrated time
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
Can't see the instance when you're in it
The sunlight through the sliding doors
That house was magic in the moment
But we don't live there anymore
The skittish dogs, ceramic dishes
I guess I should have written it all down
Bare feet on tile in the kitchen
Aglow with all good things we found
And they're still around
Left dormant, developing here
Stitched into the worst year
Chain-, cross- or blanket, needlework what sun was there
It has to still be there
So if there is a light, turn towards it
I wanna get a better look at you
I've been digging through a dead year's worth of darkness just to find it
Finding all the good inside it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light, turn towards it
If there is a light
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
It left a dent on me
Portray me in shadow and shine
Remake me for new eyes
The product of pressure and concentrated time
