Okkervil River - In A Light Lyrics

Truth has failed, equity has fled
Curiosity is in a kind of freeze, wonder's almost dead
Callous creeps pull you to the pit
Sanctity is sold, dignity for coal, it's all gone to shit

A scream on every channel, a meanness in the soul
A fever born on wind, born-again contagion taking hold
A summer girl running across the field
As lost as anyone, should try to be a sun, I'll try to be your shield
I sold my soul, now you control estate
I'm beaten down and hit, I'm crippled and unfit, I'm one of God's own make
You shoot up awake with your hand on the phone
Afraid of what you see, and feeling just like me, defeated and alone
Do you catch yourself half-proud of being cold?

Loving is all around you though
Loving is all around you though
Loving is all around you though
Didn't you know?
Loving is all around you though
In the dark, within the outer light
Out of dark, inside the inner light
In the light
In the light
In the light
In the light
