Scott Joseph Anderson - Illumination

Daylight dawns on me
Shows me what I wanna see
The dew drips from the trees
Tell me what I'm supposed to be
Listen up or be forgotten
With these stale hands
My work here's done
Someone please come and moan
Don't leave me here in this river's flow

We don't own it
The world - we don't control it
We flicker on by on the wings of a butterfly
We console it
Our grief - we don't control it
Illuminate me but don't let me be seen

Nightlife dawns on me
Showing me what I never see
The bodies hang from the trees
A killer's not what I'm supposed to be
Speak up or be forgotten
With these strong hands my work here's done
Please leave me alone
Let my body sink into the core

We don't own it
The world - we don't control it
We flicker on by on the wings of a butterfly
We console it
Our grief - we don't control it
Illuminate me but don't let me be seen

I wake up from my dream
I know what I can never be
