Shining In The Half-Light
Craig Lackey / Elles Bailey

My daddy taught me to love you
You made my mamma dance 
And when I was grown you made the road our home
With the world in the palm of our hands

Now Fears the king of isolation 
And we’re an island left alone

And we’re craving all we miss
Aching for the next fix to take us high
And here we stand just you and me 
There’s a thousand souls that we can’t see
Shining in the half-light 

You know every inch of my body 
You Crawl beneath my skin 
I’m a slave to your drug oh you run through my blood
and taste like original sin

I feel your rhythm in my heartbeat 
I hear you whisper to my soul 

And we’re craving all we miss
Aching for the next fix to take us high
And here we stand just you and me 
There’s a thousand souls that we can’t see
Shining in the half-light 

Feel like we living where we can’t be seen
Here we are, lost in the in-between 
Reaching out to each other through a cold glass screen
Losing our grip of a dystopian dream 

Feel like we living where we can’t be seen
Here we are, lost in the in-between 
Reaching out to each other through a cold glass screen
Losing our grip of a dystopian dream 

Feel like we living where we can’t be seen
Here we are, lost in the in-between 
Reaching out to each other through a cold glass screen
A dystopian sight, ah we’re losing the fight,
Ah baby shining in the half-light

CHORUS
And we’re craving all we miss
Aching for the next fix to take us high
And here we stand just you and me 
There’s a thousand souls that we can’t see
Shining in the half-light 
Shining in the half-light
Shining in the half-light
