Getting Used to the Darkness

Reaction time
Is slower than it used to be
You're feeling your way
In places that you once could see
The crack in your door
Is thinning vertically
You're getting used to the darkness

You reached for the lamp
But you thought about the speed of light
So you lay back down
'Cause you really don't want to fight
It's closer now
Do you really want to lose your sight
You're getting used to the darkness

What you think you see
Are dim and fuzzy outlines
Turn on the light
And look at what your heart finds

You can cast a shadow
When the light is shining on you
Plant seeds that grow
And change your point of view
The darkness kills
But sunlight makes things new
You'll be surprised what you see
When you see in the light
