060 Faded Aperture
Lyrics
i used to chase the sun until it burned
wide open letting every color in
now i twist the ring a quarter turn
and pull a pane of glass across my skin
i trade the blinding flashes for the shade
where nothing breaks and nothing has to bleed
i watch the overexposed memories bleach
and name the damage something like relief
when did fading out start looking wise
when did going dim feel like control
i stop it down another notch each night
till gray stops asking what it used to be
friends still flare in stories overhead
i watch the light consume them from inside
i stay midtone a low and lasting light
a shape that asks nothing of the room
when did fading out start looking wise
when did going dim feel like control
i stop it down another notch each night
till gray stops asking what it used to be
i used to fear the shadows at the edge
now i let them settle in the frame
less to hold so less can slip away
and call the dark a kind of discipline
one final click it narrows to a pin
no sudden blackout just a quieter fade
the light's a rumor drifting through the glass
perfectly in focus
in the shade
