Closer, let the light see you


Come closer, child,

And you'll see,

Love in darkness,

Cracks the code,

There is no perfection here

Just love, and that's all the perfect,

We really need

I know you are weary,

I know you have tried

But light still hasn't found us

And it's taken this long.

It won't happen now,

It never will.

Just take what you have

And leave through the windowsill.
