[Verse 1] I walk the stacks at dusk Fingers on the spines Old names on the labels Dust in crooked lines You left me by the atlas With a broken little light I learned your secret language In the hush of midnight [Pre-Chorus] Page by page Bone by bone I built a room To call my own Page by page I heard you say Stay awake Stay awake [Chorus] Teach me in the dark Teach me in the dark (Teach me in the dark) I read your scars like scripture And I keep coming back Teach me in the dark Teach me in the dark (Teach me in the dark) A thousand borrowed voices And I sing them back [Verse 2] Chalk on the blackboard Rain on the pane Ink on my knuckles Rust on the chain I copy every warning In a careful, trembling hand The maps all fall to pieces But I still understand [Pre-Chorus] Page by page Bone by bone I built a room To call my own Page by page I heard you say Stay awake Stay awake [Chorus] Teach me in the dark Teach me in the dark (Teach me in the dark) I read your scars like scripture And I keep coming back Teach me in the dark Teach me in the dark (Teach me in the dark) A thousand borrowed voices And I sing them back [Bridge] When the lamps go out And the walls breathe cold I know every corner Of the stories told No crown, no prayer Just hands and ash I turn the last page And I do not crash [Final Chorus] Teach me in the dark Teach me in the dark (Teach me in the dark) I read your scars like scripture And I keep coming back Teach me in the dark Teach me in the dark (Teach me in the dark) A thousand borrowed voices And I sing them back
