Dusk
The sun sinks away
Twilight's last goodbye before the darkness
God, please light my way
Tell me how to get through this

Dusk
My soul is more than matched
She's beaten blue and black
By a madman
He shouts and screams
He drilled deep down
Blasted all my reason out of me

Terrible and cruel old man
Yet in his eyes I read a sadness
Shrivels me up, tears me in two
God, please help me help this man
I can't leave him

Something has tied me to this man
And I've no knife to cut the line
Something has tied me to this man
And I've no knife to cut the line
Something has tied me to this man
I hope
That the waters are wide enough
That the voids are vast enough
That he never, never finds what he is looking for
(Something has tied me to this man, and I've no knife to cut the line)
That he never, never finds what he is looking for
(Something has tied me to this man, and I've no knife to cut the line)
That he never, never finds what he is looking for
(Something has tied me to this man, and I've no knife to cut the line)
That he never, never finds what he is looking for
(Something has tied me to this man)

I hope
That God hides that whale like a goldfish
That God hides that whale like a goldfish
