Uncreated Light Lyrics

I didn't know that was still a thing they do

Our lampstand was just removed

We spilled our oil

Like ink into an inky sea

And when we burned it on the waves

You danced on a distant flame

The one we were made to enthrone

We all need to hear some hard things

Sometimes

And this one still hits hardest

We thought we could walk

By the light we made

Til we got lost in our own heads

And the light in us was

Darkness

In our caricature we drew

Your features based on our own truth

Our logos in the sponsored section

Of the program and the script we put you through

And when we hung it on the wall

It clashed with nothing at all

We forgot your mouth is drawn

Like a sword

We all need to hear some hard things

Sometimes

And this one still hits hardest

We thought we could walk

By the light we made

Til we got lost in our own heads

And the light in us was

Darkness

Lest we forget, no creature is hidden

Lest we forget, we're all patients at your table

Lest we forget, you already see our true conditions

In ways we've never been able

So give us sight

Lest the light in us be darkness

We all need to hear some hard things

Sometimes

And this one still hits hardest

We thought we could walk

By the light we make

Til we got lost in our heads

And the light in us was

Darkness

I'm nearly Dylanesque in my hubris

That I got something to say

But am I pure in heart?

That's the question

So find me reclining against

Your most-chaste-chest

I'll hear your resting cadence

Bear a resemblance to

Repent, repent, repent

We all need to hear some hard things, sometimes

We all need to hear some hard things
