Mourn the new day

Verse 1

Night still hangs by its fingernails

Dawn crawls in like a sickness through the blinds

I keep the curtains nailed shut tight

This light is a knife I never asked to hold

Morning sees me and it does not blink

It grinds its teeth on the windowpane

Another hour I owe to the sun

I collect my bones and pay the toll

Pre-Chorus

Not born for the brightness

Not made for the blue

Chorus

Mourn the new day

Let it rot where it lands

Mourn the new day

I'll take the dark that's left

Mourn the new day

The cold knows my name

And the sun is a liar

I will not play its game

Verse 2

Birdsong like a hammer on my chest

Every color a wound that won't close

I drag yesterday behind me like chains

The ground is soft but it will not hold

Windows are eyes that stare me down

And the doorframe trembles at my back

I remember weather with no witness

I remember silence before it learned to speak

Pre-Chorus

Not born for the brightness

Not made for the blue

Chorus

Mourn the new day

Let it rot where it lands

Mourn the new day

I'll take the dark that's left

Mourn the new day

The cold knows my name

And the sun is a liar

I will not play its game

Bridge

Dying is patient

It waits by the sill

For when I grow tired

Of this unholy glow

Give me the gray

Give me the grave

Give me the hours

That the morning can't reach

Chorus

Mourn the new day

Let it rot where it lands

Mourn the new day

I'll take the dark that's left

Mourn the new day

The cold knows my name

And the sun is a liar

I will not play its game
