How can I ever see the way with hands over my eyes?
The weight of fear around my neck and daggers in my side?
The dawn is yet to call and break the shackles in my mind
So take my hand and maybe then we'll find a way to try

Afraid you'll never make it out alive
Afraid your time has run away again

The lights are on, and someone's home
The past is dead, so let the future grow
The lights are on, welcome to life in the afterglow

The embers in the fireplace are coming back to life
The skeletons we locked away are crawling towards the light
So raise the pen and find the words again
Raise the pen and find the words

Afraid you'll never make it out alive
Afraid your time has run away again

The lights are on, and someone's home
The past is dead, so let the future grow
Welcome to life in the afterglow
The afterglow
Won't you take me home
Won't you take me home

Your misspent youth, the doubt inside
The fear that time has surely passed you by
No don't you blink, no don't you hide
You can find light if you're willing to try

(The lights are on, and someones home)
You can find light if you're willing
Willing to try
(The lights are on)
Willing to try

Afraid you'll never make it out alive
The lights are on
Afraid your time has run away
And someone's home
Afraid you'll never make it out alive
Let the future grow
You can find light if you're willing to try
