dying white light

i'm lying awake in the dark

while you're out there screaming in jefferson park

roaming the dome with a blank dew in sight

crying like children for a dying white light

you're out there instilling your rage

while i'm in here with our children turning the page

when i hear you my knuckles sent fist closing tight

crying like children for a dying white light

your daddy's gone but you can't let it go

your daddy's gone but still you follow

with your faith and your fury

and your bigoted spite

basking in the glory of our dying white light

i'm trying to undone what you've done

to the innocent minds of our daughter and son

i can lie beside you if you're willing to fight

for your broken brotherhood and a dying white light

i'll be leaving in the morning at sunlight's first sight

you'll be living alone in your dying white light
