lyrics

Open your eyes in the dark
Night won't be long, its here & gone
The Shorebirds are shrieking
Words disappear in your ear
The more that you think, you're right you're wrong
& all the time spent dreaming
Cain put his brother down
God appeared & asked around
& the only sound that could be found
Was Abel's shallow breathing
& the way that you've been feeling
About the headlines on the ceiling
Keeping you from sleeping through
The light that burst in & lit up the room
It's hard to rest w a fire in the nest
& the dark that grows darker inside your chest
So you breathe, breathe
Mother when you said you can't change
I turned my head & walked away
East into the evening
East into the evening
East into the evening
