Invent, Animate - Hollow Light

I’ve been waiting far too long
For the flowers to bloom
Scared to have these fingers pried open
Afraid I’m falling away from you

Dusk falls, surrounding
Am I in love with the fear of losing everything?
Am I in love with the feeling?
There’s something in the way you follow
Something in the way in you follow
Dusk falls, surrounding
Closed eyes plead to deaf ears

Plead to deaf ears

Dust dancing
Floating between windows
And the light on my skin
Suspended in a sunbeam
Waiting while the darkness seeps through

So I turn to you and ask instead
Is it alright if I sleep?
Can I climb into the safety of my sheets?
The only place I can close my eyes

The silent unrest
I’ll trade peace for oblivion
And calm my mind
But I won’t sleep tonight

Plead to deaf ears
