Lyrics
Tired of walking up hill both ways
Keep buying time to cover all of my bases
Even the mirror's hiding all of my faces
Sometimes I'm up all night
Just trying to make it right
But I can see the color of your eyes
They're white and horrible
You're walking through corridors in the dark
But tonight I won't be frightened
'Cause the lights are always shining in my heart
I'm caught between two lovers
One who's just fine
And one who no one embraces
I keep casting lines to pull in something to save us
There's my dream
Will it ever land?
'Cause when I close my eyes there's nothing
Though in time I know I'll find a handle
I'm walking through corridors in the dark
But tonight I won't be frightened
'Cause the lights are always shining in my heart
Straight on to heaven will I go
No more invented other roads
No more resistance or complications
Bleeding my dry
If I believe will I never fail?
As all the spirits around me flying
Say they're keeping safe the child
As I'm walking through corridors in the dark
But tonight I won't be frightened
'Cause the lights are always shining in my heart
