By day give thanks 
By night beware 
Half the world in sweetness 
The other in fear 
 
When the darkness takes you 
With her hand across your face 
Don't give in too quickly 
Find the thing she's erased 
 
Find the line, find the shape 
Through the grain 
Find the outline, things will 
Tell you their name 
 
The table. the guitar 
The empty glass 
 
All will blend together when 
Daylight has passed 
 
Find the line, find the shape 
Through the grain 
Find the outline, things will 
Tell you their name 
 
Now I watch you falling into sleep 
Watch your fist curl against the sheet 
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim 
In blind faith 
 
I would shelter you 
Keep you in light 
But I can only teach you 
Night vision [X3]
