[Verse 1]
We cut our tongues
On the grey of morning for the one we love
The sisters argued about what was done
As joy and sorrow often do

[Verse 2]
On the mantle hangs
Our hearts with yours and all the sticky pain
The same thing that we have blamed
Is the same thing that we need

[Refrain]
The shadows light can bring
In the joy and suffering
The shadows light can bring
In the joy and suffering

[Verse 3]
In the arms
Of saint felicity is a thousand storms
Quietly rusting but still giving hope
This is a comma, not a period

[Verse 4]
Curse the birds
For singing on a day when we have hurt
Tryin' to see through eyes that weeping blurred
If I could see you would it even change?

[Refrain]
The shadows light can bring
In the joy and suffering
The shadows light can bring
In the joy and suffering

[Chorus]
Rend for me a thousand shades of blue
Give constellations new consolations
The shadow you cast continues
But a silver lining, silver lining
Rend for me a thousand shades of blue
Give constellations new consolations
The shadow you cast continues
But a silver lining, silver lining
Wraps itself around you, wraps itself around you
In a kindness only darkness proves
Wraps itself around you, wraps itself around you
In a kindness only darkness proves
Wraps itself around you, wraps itself around you
In a kindness only darkness proves
