[Intro]
Step into the centre of the dying light
Claim it, make it rich, revitalise it, 'til you're purified
Taking pretty pictures just to rip 'em up and close your mind
Ain't it such a waste to sit and hate when you got them on your side
Can you make their eyes roll back?

[Refrain]
Step into the centre of the dying light
Tell 'em you're the furthest thing from trouble, tell 'em if they just sit tight
They can live forever, all it's gonna take is one look in your eyes
Stacking up a bank of promises, promises – honest, this act's getting pretty hard to keep up with

[Verse]
Call it what you want, reveal your heart
Or the tough crowd's gonna rip you apart
Don't be afraid, be afraid
Don't hate the player, hate the game

[Pre-Chorus]
You pass through their quiet minds like a fever dream
Here a minute, disappear the next – was there ever a deal to redeem?

[Chorus]
“Bathe in the light” is what you said
“'Cause when the shadows are on you, casting down
Old friends come crawling back around”
You wish that you could just stay alone, live in your head
But who are you without the company?
Can't let them figure you out
[Refrain]
I'll step into the centre of the dying light
Swallow up the power, keep coming back until the light is mine
I can make their eyes roll back
I can make 'em hurt like that

[Chorus]
“Bathe in the light” is what you said
“'Cause when the shadows are on you, casting down
Old friends come crawling back around”
You wish that you could just stay alone, live in your head
But who are you without the company?
Can't let them figure you out, but for now, sell it out
'Cause you know that I can make their eyes roll back

[Refrain]
Step into the centre of the dying light
God, you're a fucking vision, just stay with it, never let 'em see you cry
Soak up all the lessons, the acclaim, then follow it down the pipe
Ain't it such a waste to hide your shame, when it's just a matter of time
'Til they make your eyes roll back
