We get in our way
 
 We're tripping on our feet
 
 Filling up our heads too much
 
 With words too hard to speak
 
 Drowning in a place
 
 Where the night cannot escape
 
 Commit ourselves into the depths
 
 Exposed against the page
 
  
  Caught in a phrase
 
 An echo in our minds
 
 A flash, a flood
 
 And it's burned into our eyes
  
 
 And I can't explain enough
 
 And I won't let it last the night
 
 I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
 
 It's darkest before the light
 
 If we shut our eyes to see
 
 The things that we have lost inside the lines between
  
 
 Between the black and white
 
 Where everything goes grey
 
 And everything's unsaid, undone
 
 And the negative bleeds away
 
 To reveal the memory
 
 That we waited for so long for
 
 The image shifts as the acid drips
 
 Down the paper to the floor
  
 
 Caught in a phrase
 
 An echo in our minds
 
 A flash, a flood
 
 And it's burned into our eyes
  
 
 And I can't explain enough
 
 And I won't let it last the night
 
 I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
 
 It's darkest before the light
 
 If we shut our eyes to see
 
 The things that we have lost inside the lines between
  
 
 We're so nervous to see
 
 If we've let too much in
 
 If we, if we were out of focus or out of frame
 
 I know it's a moment of truth
 
 If a recollection reflects reality
 
 Or if it's lost forever
  
 
 And I can't explain enough
 
 And I won't let it last the night
 
 I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
 
 It's darkest before the light
 
 If we shut our eyes to see
 
 The things that we have lost inside the lines between
  
 
 And I can't explain enough
 
 And I won't let it last
 
 The image is still there unseen
