reflect (developments)

and i can't explain enough

and i wont let it last the night

i'll show you that the image is still there

unseen

we get it our own way

tripping on our feet

filling up our heads too much

with words too hard to speak

drowning in a place

where the night can not escape

commit ourselvs into the depths

exposed against a page

caught in a phrase

an echo in our minds

a flash

a flood

and its burned into our eyes

and i can't explain enough

and i wont let it last the night

i'll show you that the image is still there

unseen

it's darkest before the light

if we shut our eyes too see

the things that we

have lost inside the lines between

between the black and white

where everything goes grey

and everything's unsaid

undone

and the negative bleeds away

to reveal the memory

that we've waited for so long for

the image shifts

the acid drips down the paper to the floor

caught in a phrase

an echo in our minds

a flash

a flood

and its burned into our eyes

and i can't explain enough

and i wont let it last the night

i'll show you that the image is still there

unseen

it's darkest before the light

and if we shut our eyes too see

the things that we

have lost inside the lines between

we're so nervous to see

if we've let too much in

if we

if we were out of focus or out of frame

i know

it's a moment of truth

if a recollection reflects reality

or if it's lost forever

and i can't explain enough

and i wont let it last the night

i'll show you that the image is still there

unseen

it's darkest before the light

if we shut our eyes too see

the things that we

have lost inside the lines between

and i wont let it last

the image is still there

unseen
