How can I ever see the way with hands over my eyes?

The weight of fear around my neck and daggers in my side?

The dawn is yet to call and break the shackles in my mind

So take my hand and maybe then we'll find a way to try

Afraid you'll never make it out alive

Afraid your time has run away again

The lights are on, and someone's home

The past is dead, so let the future grow

The lights are on, welcome to life in the afterglow

The embers in the fireplace are coming back to life

The skeletons we locked away are crawling towards the light

So raise the pen and find the words again

Raise the pen and find the words

Afraid you'll never make it out alive

Afraid your time has run away again

The lights are on, and someone's home

The past is dead, so let the future grow

Welcome to life in the afterglow

The afterglow

Won't you take me home

Won't you take me home

Your misspent youth, the doubt inside

The fear that time has surely passed you by

No don't you blink, no don't you hide

You can find light if you're willing to try

(The lights are on, and someones home)

You can find light if you're willing

Willing to try

(The lights are on)

Willing to try

Afraid you'll never make it out alive

The lights are on

Afraid your time has run away

And someone's home

Afraid you'll never make it out alive

Let the future grow

You can find light if you're willing to try
