You have a way with light
You make it long for you
Soldier and his devotee
The saddest light I've ever seen

You have a way with silence
Beneath your pillow it lays, sheathed
Sqeezing the worn leather handle
A smile finds you at midnight,
You mouth "sweet familiarity"

Not me, this time
You forget what's mightier than swords
I hold the ace
And when it shows I'm killing you with words

You have an eye for the ill-fated
In the mirror you learned
To keep stabbing, keep crying
Keep turning stars into memories
Until the souls of sinners burn

Don't look, it's me
As bright as the whitest light can be
My world, my rules
One swift erase away from an amputee
Swift erase away....
Swift erase away....

My world, my rules
My world, my rules
My world
My world, my rules

You have a way with light
(You have a way with light)
You make it long for you
(You make it long for you)
Soldier, and his devotee
The saddest light I've ever seen
