The Shining of Things

Take my word for it

This never should've happened

What in the world you think got into me?

We fire at will

And as we watch the pieces shatter

We find we're closer

Than we've ever been

She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened to

And in the blindness as my world stops turning

There's a sadness like I never knew

But I still see the shining of things

As the morning breaks

It hardly seems to matter

I hear a shallowness

In everything I say

We've played the night out

In all too familiar fashion

To wear the heartache

Through another day

She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened to

And there's a stillness now the rain stopped falling

And there's a sadness like I never knew

But I see the shining of things
