Will this come and go
Or has it been here for a long time?
Could this be a boon
Or is it of my own design?
Hoping through my dreams
That it shows up in the sunlight
If it’s overdue
Then it can’t be hard to find
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the day to come along
But I’ve been blind to the silence
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the beast to show its teeth
But can I handle the brightness?
Whence will this emerge—
Or is it at the fore already?
Is it out of my reach
Or is it right there in plain view?
Oooh, it’s coming closer
And I can’t ward it off
Oooh, it’s all over
And it was right under my nose
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the day to come along
But I’ve been blind to the silence
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the beast to show its teeth
But can I handle the brightness?
Ooh, I gotta stave it off
Stave it off
Stave it off
Cause I can’t handle the brightness
I’ve been afraid of what’s underneath
I’ve been so averse to uncovery
You make things shine when you’re lovin’ me
But I know what’s inside has always been bright
