Light This City Lyrics

12. Self Portrait

Now, listen. 
Because I've listened to you, 
Your voice, your words 
And the music behind them. 
And all of it sinks in 
And weighs me down, 
Finds my heart, 
And breaks it down, 
Breaks it open, 
And empties it out, 
Tries to fill it back up, 
But it just spills out 
Again into 

My whole body 
Is awake. 
I have never felt purer pain than this, 
You're in complete control of all my senses
Now you've gotten my attention, singing 
You've gotten my attention now, sing it. 

I left my heart's final punch 
Echoing in that of the kickdrum's. 
But somehow, my finger finds the button, 
And the resulting music kickstarts 
That vital pump. 
Blood carries the beat 
To my ears at the peak 
Of heightened sensitivity. 
And I'm listening to the sound 
Of a different voice now; 

He's pulling love out of 
Daring melodies, 
Wrenching me 
From the most peaceful sleep. 
The pieces come together again 
And the blood just rushes back through it, singing 
The blood just rushes back through me, sing it. 

Don't you understand 
This power in your hands? 
You have made me understand 
Everything I am.
