Darkness and the Way We Are

Darkness and the Way We Are - Luke Thompson

I could blame my wandering heart

Darkness and the way we are

I could say its where I've been

Put it on the faults I've seen

Underneath the falling rain

People sit covered in names

Just trying to understand themselves

Figure from for where they fell

I wanna lie down upon some solid ground

I need some reasons now that lead my wandering

To something I can keep

I've found nothing I can hammer down

Nothing I can figure out

For all my wandering

I'm still looking for a name

And a thesis I can tame

I could blame my heavy hands

Darkness or the way I am

But can you hear the children play

Ain't they just as free as any brand new day

I wanna lie down upon some solid ground

I need some reasons now that lead my wandering

To something I can keep

I've found nothing I can hammer down

Nothing I can figure out

For all my wandering

I'm still looking for a name

And a feeling I can claim

I can play a wondering heart

Dark see where we are
