greater/lesser lights

Up ahead
They’re all in disguise
Dressed in black
Pretending that it’s white
There’s food to eat
But can’t seem to get full
Caught in between
The pushing
And the pull

Would you just turn up the lights
The moon and the stars would do fine
If the sun won’t rise tonight
Would you push out all the dark
And blow the night apart
Would you just turn up the lights

Can’t sleep
For the weight of the world in your head
And it’s hard to dream
when you’re tossed on the waves in your bed
They speak in codes
And I just want to understand
have the warm explode
In the comfort of a holding hand

Would you just turn up the lights
The moon and the stars would do fine
If the sun won’t rise tonight
Would you push out all the dark
And blow the dark apart
Would you just turn up the lights
