Healing Light Lyrics - Erik Segel

Sing my favorite lullaby 

for these long insomnia nights, 

lend your hair as pacifier 

as if I were on your thighs. 

I'll cross each and every land, 

just to see you and start to cry 

you won't notice, I can promise, 

I can love you from a side 

I used to hide so much 

this darkness is garnished as I like. 

I can't go back 

after I've known your healing light.

There's an old scar still to come 

of a man who outshined your sun, 

now you want the prince of silence, 

not a poet on the run. 

We were dancing into one 

one night in Saint Secondin, 

now I play the second fiddle 

in this riddle asked by love, 

and am I done? I must ask 

am I here completely done? 

I don't want out, 

now that I've found your healing light.

All I am lies in this poem 

all I speak is sometimes truth, 

here it is, my timeless drama, 

here it is, my chanceless you. 

Before I go back to prison 

let me praise it through and through: 

it is more than life what found me 

in what now I mean by "you". 

Now the lullaby is torn 

with the dream insomnia's drawn, 

have some mercy upon the vulture 

who once thought it could be a swan. 

I drew knuckles on the wall 

and a crack through which I called 

help me make this close to easy 

'cause it is not close at all, 

and here's your salt, 

my open wounds, here's your salt. 

I got new scars 

they're carved by your 

by your healing light. 

You know I'm condemned to shake 

with the music in your name, 

when our scents undress in haste, 

our bodies sewn to a single waist. 

We'll be dancing into haze, 

as we claim none is to blame, 

is there anything we've missed? 

Is there something left to say? 

'cause if there is, 

you'd better tell me 

before this goes amiss. 

And after all, 

I'm sick and high 

on your healing light.
