Electric glow
Burning on,
It’s no longer dark
Before any dawn,
Take me out too
To these worlds beyond
Where nobody’s hollow,
Where we can all belong,
Where we’ll all follow,
Twisted and shaped:
With certainty swallowed
Through troughs of our hate.
Confirm us, absorb us
Oh Light, won’t you turn us?
Lift us out of this hell
And make us, not spurn us?
When you ring the voltaic bell–
Will it fill us with certainty?
Not doubt, not sorrow,
But safety and security?
We’ll make believe in you
If you show us a way to be
And we’ll dance together
Lost lovers in empathy
Gone, like evening suns
Sorrowful, lonesome, afraid
When these lying lights go out
And truth finds us in the shade.
