Developments

We get in our own way
 We're tripping on our feet
 Filling up our heads too much
 With words too hard to speak
 Drowning in a place
 Where the night can not escape
 Commit ourselves into the depths
 Exposed against the page
 Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds
 A flash, a flood, and it's burned into our eyes
 And I can't explain enough
 And I won't let it last the night
 I'll show you that the image is still there unseen
 It's darkest before the light
 If we shut our eyes to see
 The things that we have lost inside the lines between
 Between the black and white
 Where everything goes grey
 And everything's unsaid, undone, and the negative bleeds away
 To reveal the memory
 That we've waited for so long for
 The image shifts as the acid drips down the paper to the floor
 Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds
 A flash, a flood, and it's burned into our eyes
 And I can't explain enough
 And I won't let it last the night
 I'll show you that the image is still there unseen
 It's darkest before the light
 If we shut our eyes to see
 The things that we have lost inside the lines between
 We're so nervous to see if we we've let too much in
 If we, if we were out of focus or out of frame
 I know
 It's a moment of truth
 If a recollection reflects reality
 Or if it's lost forever
 And I can't explain enough
 And I won't let it last the night
 I'll show you that the image is still there unseen
 It's darkest before the light
 If we shut our eyes to see
 The things that we have lost inside the lines between
 And I can't explain enough
 And I won't let it last
 The image is still there unseen
