Not Your Light - New Song

Dearest Demons,

This song was formed by Jonny and I last year. I had the chorus kicking around my head for several weeks before I brought it to him and these beautiful words came out.

It's about how loneliness can turn into obsession and how easily as humans we can misunderstand each other. 

We've all probably experienced unwanted closeness at times in life and this song is about stepping back and setting your boundaries.

NOT YOUR LIGHT

I made a trap of flowers

You brought a butterfly net to a meteor shower

And through the flames of a terrible fire

A blind boy walks a wire

We lay awake for hours

In the ruins of ancient towers

And, yes, here comes the night

But, darling, I’m not your light

I’m not you’re your light

Watch in vain for stars to collide

I’m not your light

I’m just the lonely soul by your side

I watched you push away the dawn

Into the arms of a tattooed psalm

Feel your heartbeat at your fingertips

Farewells at the edge of your lips

In a palace of rubble and rust

We can dance ourselves into the dust

As you set out to raise the dead

Haunted hymns spill from your head

I’m not your light

We're children in a street fight

I’m not your light

But we're keeping each other alive

In every secret drinker

The spirit surely will splinter

Here the libertine’s surprise

Is to be burned in the blaze of life

Kids of a vampire state

Leaving early to arrive too late

Sky blushes defiant and bright

But, lover, I’m not your light

I’m not your light

‘It's alright, I'll make do’ you replied

I’m not your light

I’m just the only one here tonight

The song is still a little rough round the edges and unmastered but I wanted you to hear it first. Hope you enjoy or it's relatable in some way.

Let me know your thoughts.

I'll be releasing the rest of the rewards tomorrow.

Love & Feathers,

Mishkin
