Текст песни Artificial Light - Typhoon

In the beginning there was one source of light
It would die and come back every night
As a woman showing off her thighs
Just a little bit at a time
In the beginning everyone bowed their heads toward the light
They would dance and eat their friends alive
We were not happy then
And these were simpler times

Now we all play
We're the moth, we're the flame
We were aware of the danger
We could not keep away
My eyes are open

In the beginning I was standing out in the yard
With my father pointing up at the stars
I asked, "Do you think there is life on Mars?
Is there life like ours?
Here I see a light left on
In a house like mine and out in the lawn
There's a man like you, and a smaller one"
I looked in the mirror
I had seen my son

Oh, I know
How the universe, it shows itself
It's always getting bigger, like you
I was told
That I'd grow up to be myself
I thought I would get bigger too

Look what I have done, look what I have found
(Look what I have done, look what I have found)
If others lose their light, they come and gather around
This is why we have lovers and why we have fights
This is why the arms race and why we have cool knives
And why there's a humble flame just a little while apart

And it belongs to me
It belongs to me
It belongs to me

I woke up in the morning
To a pale light tangled in your hair
And I never wake before you
But this time I caught you sleeping there
Yes, you are my sunlight
You are my last breath of air
And I would try to hold it
I would try to keep the moment
Like a photograph with the sunset
Like a little kid with a bug net
Like a diamond, I swear

You belong to me
You belong to me
If you belong to anyone
Then you belong to me
But I have no other place to keep you safe
But in my shaky, ever-shaking family

The light goes off
It comes back on
We'll all be here
In the familiar halls
With empty jars
And stolen songs
Waiting for the light
To come back
