Can't See the Light

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis

Oh, sweet fragile girl

Hide away from the world

King-size bedsheets

have become your prison

Ceiling fan shuffles air

Inhaling dust without care

A cobweb so thick blades cut like a machete

Clock reads 2 am

A cobweb is your only friend

Keeps your secrets tangled from escaping

But the morning still comes

The white doves sing their song

Sunlight peeks its way through the broken blinds drawn tight

Only inches away but you can't see it

Oh, sweet fragile girl

Say your prayers that go unheard

Sometimes God knocks on the front door

Flower welcome mat in place

To greet the One who could bring grace

The invitation's sent, now comes the waiting

Paralyzed with overwhelm

Sleep ushers in another realm

If you could only buy a one-way ticket

But the morning still comes

The white doves sing their song

Sunlight peeks its way through the broken

blinds drawn tight

Only inches away but you can't see it

Moonlight shines on your bed sham

Starlight torments your face

There sits a lamp on your nightstand

Its switch is within your reach

Reach for the light you can see

Reach for the light you can see

Hold on fragile girl

You fear the tragic end is near

But your scars hold your deepest power

Empty matchbook count is ten

Hand-scribbled numbers, random men

Could a drunken stranger be your Savior?

Soon another day begins

Eyes wet, mascara thin

Blackened tattooed cheeks courtesy of Revlon

But the morning still comes

The white doves sing their song

Sunlight peeks its way through the broken

blinds drawn tight

Only inches away but you can't see it

Only inches away but you won't see it
