The Song They Play Every Night

[Verse 1]
Dark, ringing through the sky
Shaking in the clouds until the harps are out of tune
And the song they play every night
Keeping you awake while the thought sleeps in your soul

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And every load I took to fill a hole that caved inside
Just made it deeper, darker and wider than before
Don’t make me say it out loud any more

[Verse 2]
And I cop, just to change my scene
And turn a useful nightmare into a boring dream
And my room, like a map of my time
It’s always half past twelve and divided by two lines

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And every step I took to take me further from the source
Just brought me closer, inward and more lost than before
Don’t make me say it out loud anymore

[Chorus]
Oh well, if you don’t love me now you didn’t love me before

[Verse 3]
And my love is turning into grief
And loneliness, thy enemy, it’s my only relief
From a child lost in a crowd
Looking for the landmarks that you keep burning down

[Pre-Chorus]
And every sip I took from cups I carved out of my skull
Just made me older, slower and sadder than before
Don’t make me say it out loud anymore

[Chorus]
Oh now, if you don’t love me now you didn’t love me before
