I’m lying awake in the dark While you’re out there screaming in Jefferson Park Roaming the dome with a blank dew in sight Crying like children for a dying white light
You’re out there instilling your rage While I’m in here with our children turning the page When I hear you my knuckles sent fist closing tight Crying like children for a dying white light
Your daddy’s gone but you can’t let it go Your daddy’s gone but still you follow With your faith and your fury And your bigoted spite Basking in the glory of our dying white light
I’m trying to undone what you’ve done To the innocent minds of our daughter and son I can lie beside you if you’re willing to fight For your broken brotherhood and a dying white light I’ll be leaving in the morning at sunlight’s first sight You’ll be living alone in your dying white light
