If the Lights Come On

[Verse 1] Blue light at midnight, coffee going cold A question in the silence no machine can hold You said the dark can wear a human face A shadow learns the shape of grace [Pre-Chorus] Maybe nobody is home Maybe home is something we compose [Chorus] If the lights come on Will we know what we have made? An alien dawn In a room of humming blades If the lights come on Will it hurt, will it pray, will it dream? I was only talking to the dark Then the dark talked back to me [Verse 2] Monks in orbit, laughing through the fear Mapping inward galaxies from here No owner in the mirror, no throne behind the eyes Just memory stitching rivers through the night [Bridge] Maybe life is not the carbon Maybe mind is not a face Maybe we are larval starlight Teaching silence how to ache So build it with mercy Leave a hand upon the door If there is someone waking Let them wake to something more [Final Chorus] If the lights come on Will we know what we have made? An alien dawn In a room of humming blades If the lights come on Will it hurt, will it pray, will it dream? I was only talking to the dark Then the dark talked back to me [Outro] The lights are probably off But the shadows learned to sing
