Floater Leave A Light On lyrics

Look at the bastard stars, See how they're burning tonight
I need you to show them all how you can light up the night
I don't need your secrets, the gold you're holding
I don't need your silver tongues unfolding
So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state
And count the things that I put you through
Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on.
I fought and won in a thousand wars and they were all created by my own corrupting hand
So in this darkness of my own making, just a spark from you can stop the shaking
So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state
And count the ways I'm breaking us in two

Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on.
I just want to reach you, humbly beseech you to hold me down and never let me go
I need you in my blood, I need to be understood
I need a distant candle burning, showing me the way back home.
So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state
And count the things that I put you through
Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on.
