[Intro] [Verse 1] We live ten feet down Concrete for a crown Pipes hum over my head Like distant traffic Like old regrets You hang blankets on the wall I count hairline cracks that crawl We say “This is fine This is home” Till Tuesday’s package shows up at the door [Chorus] Discovering light blocking curtains In a cave bunker bedroom Thought we were already in darkness Turns out we had room to lose You laugh as you seal every edge Say “Now we can finally sleep right through” But even in pitch-black midnight I still see the life I left with you [Verse 2] The cat taps his way around Tiny radar Whisker-bound He never knew the color blue He maps the world in the sound of you You say “He likes it dim” Whole universe Just scent and skin We clip the last strip of glow And the little king curls by your toes [Chorus] Discovering light blocking curtains In a cave bunker bedroom Thought we were already in darkness Turns out we had room to lose You whisper we’ve beaten the daylight Shut out the sky and every clue But even our blind old hunter Knows where the warm heart is in this room [Bridge] Maybe it’s mercy Covering the cracks Maybe it’s fear Nailing sheets to the past Cat sighs World fades Same black Every shade You reach for my hand And that’s when I’m not afraid [Solo] [Chorus] Discovering light blocking curtains In a cave bunker bedroom You joke “We’re our own eclipse now” In our self-contained cocoon He can’t see the dark or the daylight Still walks a straight line back to you If a blind cat can find his certain Maybe I can find my way to truth [Outro]
