[Verse 1] We nailed our fears to the cathedral door We drew the monsters that we can't ignore We gave them thunder, we gave them names To hide from the silence, and play our games But the lightning's just a current we can tame And the dark between the stars... is just a frame. [Chorus] **So fade away, you god of gaps!** **Your shadow's shrinking from our maps!** **With every question we untie,** **Another lonely light we spy.** **It's a colder, brighter sky...** **With no one left to blame, and no reason why.** [Verse 2] We pulled the venom from the serpent's tooth We charted the tide, we questioned the truth That pulsed beneath the old world's skin We're scrubbing the miracles away again Leaving just the pattern, and the spin And the terrifying freedom to begin. [Chorus] **So fade away, you god of gaps!** **Your shadow's shrinking from our maps!** **With every question we untie,** **Another lonely light we spy.** **It's a colder, brighter sky...** **With no one left to blame, and no reason why.** [Bridge] And I miss the ghost in the machine sometimes... The comfort of a purpose in the nursery rhymes... But you can't unsee the wiring once you've seen the light... You just stand your ground in the terrifying night. [Final Chorus] **FADE AWAY, YOU GOD OF GAPS!** **YOUR SHADOW'S SHRINKING FROM OUR MAPS!** **WITH EVERY QUESTION WE UNTIE,** **ANOTHER LONELY LIGHT WE SPY!** **IT'S A COLDER, BRIGHTER SKY!** **WITH NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME, AND NO REASON WHY!** [Outro] ...no reason why.
