"Brightwing" lyrics - INVENT ANIMATE

Look into me, count what I've lost
Broken wings, weary with grief
The sum of all our costs
Broken wings with no light to cling to
Floating toward a ray of hope
Only this nocturnal lens to dream through

[Chorus:]
I found you in the dark
Nocturnal drift of a black heart
Filled with the blazing light
Burning bright, yet you always hide
Shine on me
In the warmth of the sunlight
Shine on me
Dare to leave the night

[Post-Chorus:]
Force my rest, sleep under dust

Can I repair these wings?
Close the gaps that sting?
Should I prepare my tomb?
Is that enough for you?
Kiss the fire, the glowing coal against my lips
Let a dead man earn his rest
Sleep under the dust
You love to see me burn
Broken wings with no light to cling to
A moth in a world of butterflies
Floating toward a ray of hope
These hands have more to prove

[Chorus:]
I found you in the dark
Nocturnal drift of a black heart
Filled with the blazing light
Burning bright, yet you always hide
I found you in the dark
Shine on me
You love to see me burn
Shine on me
Sleep under dust
