Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place

Anberlin Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place Lyrics
1.We Owe This To Ourselves

Since when did bullets start to sing?
(It didn't have to end like this)
Is this the end of everything?
(It didn't have to end like this)
I feel, I feel we can't stop here
I feel, I feel we won't stop here
It doesn't have to end like this

We owe this to ourselves
We owe this to ourselves
We can't just let this go
We owe this to ourselves
We owe this to ourselves
We just can't let this go

If every man became a king
(We could start it off with this)
We could do more than just dream
(We could start it off with this)
I feel, I feel the change is here

We owe this to ourselves
We owe this to ourselves
We can't just let this go
We owe this to ourselves
We owe this to ourselves
We just can't let this go

We owe this to ourselves
We owe this to ourselves
We can't just let this go
We owe this to ourselves
We owe this to ourselves
We just can't let this go


2.Impossible

Make my teeth clench
And my hands shake
Do you ever see
What you do to me?

You're wearing me out
Just wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down

You're impossible
Lovely
So impossible
To win or please
I'm wearing you out
Just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want

I make your lips red
And your moans quake
Try to think through
What I can do to you

It's wearing you thin
Can I begin
To wear you out
Wear you out

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want

I'm impossible
To figure out
So impossible
You've had your doubts
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything honey
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything honey
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
Take what you want from me


3.Take Me (As You Found Me)

The ground is shaking underneath
Now that you're here
A body skipping beats
When you appear

The world is on fire
Since you've come near
All I've ever desired
Is here with me

You're here with me
You're here with me
You're here with me

Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me to die
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life

Who's going to drink my blood
Now that you're gone
Who's going to right all my wrongs
Now that you're gone
Who's gonna tear my flesh with a stirring song
Now that you're gone
Woaahh
Now that you're gone

Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me tonight

Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life
Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me to die
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life
The rest of your life

You leave me stranded
Now that you're gone
Don't leave me stranded
Out here all alone

Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me tonight
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life
Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me to die
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life


4.Closer

Do you expect me
To be or believe you
Do you accept me
When it's me you can see through

Are you keeping safe distance
Are you arms length away
Are you keeping safe distance
Holding me arms length away
Are you there, can someone answer me

Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer

Do you expect me
To keep from crawling back
Do you accept me
When we both know my past

Am I keeping safe distance
Pushing you arms length away
Am I keeping safe distance
Oh, it's you that feels betrayed
Are you there, can someone answer me
Come where I can see

Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
I know you're out there somewhere
Come where I can see
Closer, closer, closer to me

Come closer Come closer Come closer

Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
Are you out there somewhere
Go where I can see
Closer, closer, closer to me


5.You Belong Here

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You were meant to be with me

You got the better part of me
Always have and always will
You got the better part of me, oh
And you know that I'm right

And I know I'm asking so much
And I know I'm taking control
But a heart that's not worth breaking
Isn't worth much, not at all
Isn't worth much at all

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You belong here with me
You were meant to be with me
You are the better part you'll see
Always have and always will
You'll be the better part of me, oh
For the rest of my life

And I know I'm asking too much
And I know I want control
But I'll give you all I have
It isn't much, not much at all
I'm not much at all

You belong here (You belong here )
You were meant for me
You belong here (You belong here )
You belong here with me
You belong here (You belong here )
You belong here with me
You were meant to be with me

But I'll give you all I have
It isn't much, not much at all
But a heart that's not worth breaking
Isn't worth much, not at all

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You belong here with me


6.Pray Tell

Are you hiding secrets from me?
Is there more to this life that I can't see?
What will I find out over time?
Waiting for the moment to arrive.
Why are you lying there?
What Are you hiding there?

Hide away, why do you hide away from me?
Hide yourself, why do you hide your face from me?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

Do you like the shadows in there?
Keep me in the dark now, are you scared?
Will the truth ever set you free?
Tell me, will you buckle at your knees?

What are you hiding there?
Why are you lying there?

Hide away, why do you hide away from me?
Hide yourself, why do you hide your face from me?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

(Instrumental Break)

Lie to yourself, don't lie to me.
Lie to yourself, don't hide yourself.
Find yourself, let me find you.
Find yourself, let me find you.

Hide away, why do you hide away from me?
Hide yourself, Oh why, why do you hide yourself from me?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

Hide away Woah-oh hide away
Hide away, why do you hide yourself away?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.


7.Art Of War

Am I the latest
In your art of war
Thought your hands could heal
But they left me so

You're so good at what you think you do to me
You're so good at what you think you do to me

There are songs I'll never write
Because of you walking out of my life
There are words that don't belong
Because of you I'll never write another love song

Was I the greatest
In your arsenal
Or just the latest in your art of war
Your art of war

You're no good at what you said you'd do to me
You're no good at what you said you'd do to me

There are songs I'll never write
Because of you walking out of my life
There are words that don't belong
Because of you I'll never write another love song
(Never write another love song)

There are songs I'll never write
Because of you walking out of my life
There are words that don't belong
Because of you I'll never write another love song
(Never write another love song)
There are songs I'll never write
Because of you walking out of my life
There are words that don't belong
Because of you I'll never write another love song
(Never write another love song)


8.To The Wolves

You want to put two in my chest
I want to be the one in your hair
In your hair
In your hair

Betrayed
Say you love me but cast the first off
Betrayed
Left me alone but to the wolves alone
To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Wo, oh Wa, oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

You want me to believe that you're so right
But it's only in your eyes
In your eyes (in your eyes)

Deceiver
Say you love me but I found lies
Deceiver
Left me for dead, to the wolves alone
To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Wo, oh Wa, oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Wo, oh Wa, oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you


9.Down

You would have loved who I used to be
Yesterday, I would have hated the boy you see
When you found me I was at my worst
The best I was is a long forgotten curse

You caught me on the way down
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down

Feel like a shell of yester-years gone by
Bad decisions like ghosts that just won't die
I'm so sorry that I can't apologize
For what comes next is another long goodbye

You caught me on the way down
Honey, honey
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down

You caught me on the way down
Oh, honey
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down
You caught me on the way down
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down

Are you depraved,
or are you deceived?
Excuses aside,
