Endure the Night

[Verse 1]
I can't return to where I was from
A brick in the world, comfortably numb
A prodigal son, lost and undone
Nothing new, nothing new under the sun
I have been measured and weighed
Measured in ways that I can't say
I crumble under the weight of the shame
I've been measured and weighed
I have been labelled unclean, labelled unclean
Not for my words or my deeds
Labelled unclean by those saints who don't seem to have patience for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll endure the night for the light
I'll endure the night for the chance of chance
I'll endure the night for the light
I'll endure the night for the chance of chance

[Chorus]
I will endure the night
Just for the promise of
A light that never comes
I pray to God it does
I will endure the dark
Just for the promise of
A bright and burning sun
I pray to God it comes

[Verse 2]
I love you for all that you give
You love me for all that I take
We use each other
Yeah, we use each other
And say it's ok
I don't owe you nothing
And no, you don't owe me a thing
We use each other
Yeah, we use each other
And then flee the scene

[Verse 3]
My heart is broken in two
Broken in two
Mending is not what I choose
I feel at peace when it's in bits and pieces and tremble in fear when it's clumsily glued
This world was never my home
Never my home
I grew attached to it, though
When nothing's forever, yeah, we deserve better that untimely exits with half of our soul

[Chorus]
I will endure the night
Just for the promise of
A light that never comes
I pray to God it does
I will endure the dark
Just for the promise of
A bright and burning sun
I pray to God it comes

[Sample: Local Native]
And when I kiss you with my sun hands
And when I kiss you with my sun hands
I'll promise not to lose her heart, yeah

[Bridge]
Let me get the light back
Imma get the night extinguished
Let me get my life back
Imma get the dark diminished

Imma get the light back
Imma get the night extinguished
Imma get my life back
Imma get the dark diminished

Imma get the light back
Imma get the night extinguished
Imma get my life back
Imma get the dark diminished

Imma get the light back
Imma get the night extinguished
Imma get my life back
Imma get the dark diminished

[Chorus]
I will endure the night
Just for the promise of
A light that never comes
I pray to God it does
I will endure the dark
Just for the promise of
A bright and burning sun
I pray to God it comes

[Sample: Local Native]
And when I kiss you with my sun hands
I'll promise not to lose her heart, yeah
And when I kiss you with my sun hands
I'll promise not to lose her heart, yeah
And when I kiss you with my sun hands
I'll promise not to lose her heart, yeah
And when I kiss you with my sun hands
I'll promise not to lose her heart, yeah
