Lyrics
CRASHING THROUGH DARKNESS
When I play my guitar in the dark it makes a spark
Like a life saver when you bite?
Fires light and burn so bright
Crashing through the darkness
Trying to find my way home
Thrashing through the blackness
Running towards a ringing phone
(chorus)
Tripping over garbage falling in the dirt
Face is foul & muddy
Pitiful and bloody, and hurt
Stumbling over obstacles
Trying to get there in time
Slowed by every impedance
Stepping out of line
(chorus)
Tripping over garbage falling in the dirt
Face is foul & muddy
Pitiful and bloody, and hurt
It?s been a long wait and I ache to see your face
Like on the first date...
When every energy reciprocates and my mind quakes
I?ve made mistakes but that?s only because reality is fake
This vestibule is cruel?
It pumps me up with preoccupation & tactile sensation
Will there ever be one nation under God?
Well there are many already like a family of three
Or as few as few as two? like me & you?.
Or maybe even one? a lonely father teaching his only son?
Can it be done?? (thy will be done)
Crashing through the darkness
Trying to find my way home
Crashing through the darkness
Trying to find my way home
