These are the lights that


These are the lights that shine the tome

Through plights of misfortune and dishonest certainty

These are the lights that shine the tome

Till my physical prowess is as dull as my mental stability

These are the lights that shine the tome

Tighten lone stranger you’ve been fixed for a while

These are the lights that shine the tome

Together well assure ourselves cause we were both in denial

These are the lights that shine the tome

The malicious thoughts have perpetuated us this way

These are the lights that shine the tome

Together as long as im with you I know I’ll be okay

These are the lights that shine the tome

Those grave intents have now become less suspect

These are the lights that shine the tome

To further perpetuate what we couldn’t lament

These are the lights that shine the tome

This light that has dimmed has fully grown

I know now that I can grow old

I can break this mold

I was always the light

You are the tome

We love you
