Just as Real but Not as Brightly Lit Lyrics[Verse 1]
Creeping up a wall of glass, I'm entirely made of sand
Lurching up, feeding back
What the canyon wants, the canyon gets
And the canyon craves an apology and a pound of flesh
I thought I felt, I thought I saw, I thought I knew so much chatter
[Chorus]
Let there be shade un-illuminate
Nothing will change if you don't lead with your shadow
Let there be shade un-illuminate
Exhale the plague cloud your vision
[Verse 2]
An unpainted corner, my kingdom come
Silence tells me I can't escape it
Now we write our names on the moon in blood
I have set us back twenty centuries
All the letters sent with no address
Is he talking to or talking down to me?
[Bridge]
They'll kill us, they'll kill us
They'll kill us if they have the chance
I hear their conversations
They'd kill us if they had the chance
I'll be the first to take it
[Verse 3]
I still feel like someone is watching
Though I'm not sure if that someone is listening
It don't matter much to my suffering
Because I know for a fact no one's answering
[Chorus]
Let there be shade un-illuminate
Nothing will change if you don't lead with your shadow
[Verse 4]
I was on the shoulders of leviathans
But I couldn't see through the fog of anger
And I failed myself like I did before
My work is lost, alll my reckoning
Back to sin, back to shame, back into the quicksand
[Outro]
Guarding an empty house, guarding an empty house
I have lost everything I had found
Sorrow will overcome, sorrow will overcome
