Day Creatures Lyrics

Just 9 years old

Taking my pain outside

Breaking my back

Such a small frame to hold the night

If you're asking for truth

I gave it to you long ago when I stayed here

These waves are dark

But even with the fewest years, I'll find our shore

And I recall looking up to you

Look at you looking back at me

Such a small girl I know

With these hands I held our hope

And I recall looking up to you

Look at you looking back at me

Such a small girl I know

With these hands I held our hope

Day creatures they run from pain

Fear grey skies and heavy rain

I've been holding on

To the things I know

Don't bother me

Because I'm not alone

I've been holding on

To those college days

Where those bathroom floors

Brought me into frame

I've been holding on

To our laughing spells

We were more like friends

Above all else

I've been holding on

To that broken glass

On that Saturday

When you packed your bags

These calls get old

It's 2am and I have work in the morning

I don't have the words

Barely have rent this month

Can't see past Fall

And last Christmas Eve

Leaving me alone again to cry on the floor

I cried all night

Cried until I couldn't cry anymore

And I recall looking up to you

Look at you looking back at me

Such a small girl I know

With these hands I held our hope

And I recall looking up to you

Look at you looking back at me

Such a small girl I know

With these hands I held our hope

Day creatures they run from pain

Fear grey skies and heavy rain

I've been holding on

To the things I know

Don't bother me

Because I'm not alone

I've been holding on

To those college days

Where those bathroom floors

Brought me into frame

I've been holding on

To our laughing spells

We were more like friends

Above all else

I've been holding on

To that broken glass

On that Saturday

When you packed your bags

Day Creatures they run from pain

Fear grey skies and heavy rain

Day Creatures don't know their strength

They stay on lake shores afraid to break break

Day Creatures the waves are dark

There's truth in shadows you never sought

Day Creatures they're stuck in time

Gaze locked on bright lights that leave them blind
