your eyes shut tight, a fire in your soul
fluorescent light, the phantom bends and bursts
and the trust is mild, we isolate the stem
we steal the time, and scream out through the folds

it's dawn, dawn, dawn, all along
at dawn, dawn, dawn, you're gone
it's dawn, dawn, dawn, all along
at dawn, dawn, dawn, you're gone

hallucinate, fantods, chained and swollen
help me change, i'm subtle and i'm whole
mama, mama, look out to the west
mama, mama, watch me disconnect

it's dawn, dawn, dawn, all along
at dawn, dawn, dawn, you're gone
it's dawn, dawn, dawn, all along
at dawn, dawn, dawn, you're gone

drawn a lark, to follow home
a fragile mark, a face so solemn
in rotten dark, the truth is known
it's razor sharp, we walk alone

dawn, dawn, help me to move on
dawn, dawn, dragging me along
gone, gone, i can't be alone
dawn, dawn, help me to move on

we're all singers, we're all sinners
and i've seen, how i've seen, now i've seen how obscene

dawn, dawn, help me to move on
dawn, dawn, dragging me along
gone, gone, i can't be alone
dawn, dawn, help me to move on
help me to move on
