"Different Light"

In the fluid, draining life
from empty hearts
know-it-alls, top heavy
see me in a different light
I caress myself
I'm all I've got
besides the deep-seeded spark
that stays burning
when more hope is lost
won't play tonight
just hold myself tight
You're not looking at me blindly
like I see you
My soul's shut down for reconstruction
My heart's always open
 but it's still watching you close
Never heard the gospel
Got lost in a blues bar
I used to love fire
I'm not what you know of me
You see me in a completely different light
