The Light (Zoe’s Song)

I seem to be a silent griever
Stuck in my head whilst the Earth leaves her
Thinking what it must have been like to be her
But I slept late and didn't see her
I walked downstairs to say good morning
I wish instincts would give some warning
Cuz I've never been good at crying
And everyone downstairs is mourning

I know forever never lasts
But why did it have to end so fast

Oh, tell me
Tell me in my dreams
What's the farmhouse like
How are you feeling
Does evеrything seem bright
Tell me in your own way
Tell mе what you know
Tell me everything before it's time to go

I'm sitting in the same part of my bed that I've been on for an hour
The curtains are closed, the door's peeking open
But I lock myself away in the tower
What am I meant to do today with all of this emotion
I like to think I'm empathetic, but I'm still going with the motions

Whilst everyone stops
I sit and wait for the moment when my face finally drops

Oh, tell me
Whilst I put on yesterday's clothes
Why is this the path life chose
What are we supposed to do
What are we supposed to know
What can I even say
And can I say it so
Tell me everything before it's time to go
Before it's time to go

I watch your sister in the garden
Mom tells me that she's gonna grieve
But I think back to this close reading story
Where the dog's confused when the baby leaves
It's gone and never coming back
But the poor old pup just can't understand
And I just keep on thinking back
I just keep on thinking back

Oh, I remember being told attachment seems to be a bad idea
But the person who told me sheds a tear
So I wrap myself around them, they tell me it'll be OK
And I tell them the hug wasn't for me anyway

Oh, tell me
Tell me what the shadows mean
Tell me when you're near
Tell me what you're feeling
Tell me if it's fear
I promise it's OK
I promise it's alright
Tell me everything before it's time to go
To go into the light
Into the light
Oh, tell me
Tell me

I seem to be a silent griever
Stuck in my head whilst the Earth leaves her
But I slept late and didn't see her
