Getting Used To The Darkness

Reaction time

Is slower than it used to be

You're feeling your way

In places that you once could see

The crack in your door

Is thinning vertically

You're getting used to the darkness



You reached for the lamp

But you thought about the speed of light

So you lay back down

'Cause you really don't want to fight

It's closer now

Do you really want to lose your sight

You're getting used to the darkness



What you think you see

Are dim and fuzzy outlines

Turn on the light

And look at what your heart finds



You can cast a shadow

When the light is shining on you

Plant seeds that grow

And change your point of view

The darkness kills

But sunlight makes things new

You'll be surprised what you see

When you see in the light
