[Verse 1]

I couldn't sleep last night

I was afraid that I

Was gonna see you there

I sewed shut my eyes

And sealed off my mind

Then I looked everywhere

For you, your spirit haunts me

In light your shadow finds me

The night calls out to take me

Your grasp grows cold within me

[Chorus]

Dead bruise

False prophecy

It's mine, half mine

Dark blues

My blackened eyes

They're mine, half mine

Hallway, through which light fades

Half light, half light

[Verse 2]

You got brutal hands

You're such an honest man

And it's honest work

Laying out your trap

Folding limbs in half

With your hypnic jerk

Second sins ensnared in my chest

Steal the summers of adolescence

Took the freshest cuts of my flesh

The rest wrapped up in plastic

[Chorus]

Dead bruise

False prophecy

It's mine, half mine

Dark blues

My blackened eyes

They're mine, half mine

Hallway, through which light fades

Half light, half light

[Bridge]

Oh

Only in dreams

Only that face

It's all I see

So commonplace

Another sprain

Another ache

I'm all used up

You took my place

[Chorus]

Dead bruise

False prophecy

It's mine, half mine

Dark blues

My blackened eyes

They're mine, half mine

Hallway, through which light fades

Half light, half light
