They say in the beginning
God turned on the light
And in the brightest sun
Came the shadows of the night
Opposite, nonsymbiotic
That’s what we are
The dark expanse of space and
A morning star
Blinding
We are blinding
All or nothing, is what we equate
Upsetting
I’m always forgetting
I can’t see the end either way
If we collide then we burn
A supernova of light that hurts my eyes
Fly away, far and fast
But in only dark, danger is disguised
So hold it steady
Shield your eyes or get ready
Blinding
We are blinding
All or nothing, is what we equate
Upsetting
I’m always forgetting
I can’t see the end either way
Your bright flash of light blinds me
To whatever’s coming behind
But uncertainty is worse
Darkness covers like a curse
And everything’s a twisted lie
Even if a heavenly angel
Could pull the devil out of hell
Which one would be blinded?
That I haven’t decided
Blinding
We are blinding
All or nothing, is what we equate
Upsetting
I’m always forgetting
That I can’t see the end
And I don’t know what I’m defending from
But I guess it all depends
On whether I fall or ascend
