lyrics

there's nothing left for you here in this room
you've taken all you can for me
this well's run dry for the very last time
so leave and close the door behind you

hang your head down
let the ink drain out
all that is black
will be washed away
and when he picks your head up
they will fill it with light
oh you will glow so bright
you will glow so brightly

you've been asked to leave
so what is it you want from me
oh you hold so tightly to the leaves
bury your fears bury your fears
can't you see your garden's drying
but you'll dig up the dead dig up the dead
until they're dust

i'll lie awake till light pokes through the trees
till the birds and crickets sing
