lyrics

You are the star I am the eye behind the telescope lens
You ask me why I say because the answer always depends
You never knew I couldn’t know how tremendous you’d be
You traveled far I took the time turned the telescope on me

In the dark
Open or closed
It’s a box
No sign of home
From a port
Circles a light
Can I get there?
Or am I tied to the devil?

You said oh no, I said oh yes when nightmares tested our wits
You drank the ale I ate the oil there was terror in the midst
You drank to sleep I begged to scream but it was all in mind
You tossed and turned I stared dead on and dared the coil to unwind

In the dark
Open or closed
It’s a box
No sign of home
From a port
Circles a light
Can I get there?
Or am I tied to the devil?

You woke with grace I showed my bones the gown had fallen away
You ask me how I said I watched as the night turned to day
You left the room I couldn’t move the sun shone woven spectra
You went on home I was alone myself my own reflection

In the dark
Open or closed
It’s a box
No sign of home
From a port
Circles a light
Can I get there?
Or am I tied to the devil?

Get out of here devil I can be dark all by myself
Get out of here devil and don’t bother nobody else

Get out of here devil I can be dark all by myself
Get out of here devil and don’t bother nobody else

Or am I tied to the devil?
