Under the noise Under the light Something is breathing Just out of sight Neon flickers on an empty street A second shadow moves beneath your feet Every window hides another face Every heartbeat leaves a trace Static crawling through the telephone A quiet warning in an unknown tone You call it nothing, turn away We keep the silence where it stays Red light Cold hands One step from the edge No names No prayers No promises left We wear the dark so you never see What waits below your reality No halo, no mercy, no clean escape We hold the line while the whole world shakes We wear the dark, we carry the stain We close the door, we bury the name No glory, no witness, no morning star You live in the light We wear the dark Oh, we wear the dark Oh, we wear the dark Borrowed skin and a borrowed smile Something human for a little while Teeth concealed behind a quiet breath Life and ruin standing neck to neck We know the language of the things you fear We hear the voices you will never hear Not every monster comes to kill Not every savior bends to kneel Black glass White noise A crack beneath the floor One pulse One choice And nothing stays secure We wear the dark so you never see What waits below your reality No halo, no mercy, no clean escape We hold the line while the whole world shakes We wear the dark, we carry the stain We close the door, we bury the name No glory, no witness, no morning star You live in the light We wear the dark Tell me Who draws the line? Who decides What stays alive? Tell me When the masks fall apart Which side of the glass Holds the human heart? We don't save the world We keep it from breaking We don't stop the night We keep it contained Stay asleep Stay unaware Leave the shadows To the ones already there We wear the dark so you never see The shape of the end beneath your feet No saints, no innocence, nothing pure Only the hands that keep it secure We wear the dark, we carry the stain We lock the door again and again No glory, no witness, no morning star You live in the light We wear the dark Under the noise Under the light We keep the balance Out of sight
