The emotion it was, electric
And the stars, they all aligned
I knew I had to make my, decision
But I never made the time
No, I never made the time
[Chorus]
In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home
Exoneration lost his, eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one
[Chorus]
There is a majesty at my doorstep
There is a little boy in her arms
Now we'll parade around without game plans
Obligations, or alarm
[Chorus: x2]
In the dark
And the stars, they all aligned
I knew I had to make my, decision
But I never made the time
No, I never made the time
[Chorus]
In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home
Exoneration lost his, eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one
[Chorus]
There is a majesty at my doorstep
There is a little boy in her arms
Now we'll parade around without game plans
Obligations, or alarm
[Chorus: x2]
In the dark

+1General Comment:Fantastic band. Interesting track that appears rather simple. S/he saw the light (it could be a relationship or some other occurance that was emotionally important to him/her) but for some reason s/he chose to remain in the dark. The "twisted days" he takes comfort in may just mean that it's easier and safer to remain in the dark; many of us at times choose a decision based on what is emotionally easier. But he feels he has to make a move to finally return from the dark (the confusion; the pain; etc); he's been there too long and it's taken its toll on him. He has come to a decision, and regardless of what it is it will lead him out of darkness. Creative song.
