Light was so Bright © 2001 Sandra Mello Oh the light was so bright I needed to hide the beauty terrorized me so I crawled in a hole and sealed all the cracks waiting for sanctuary Raw and abraded debased and alone I dug the grave of my choice A one-room apartment just big enough to hold my lover close I love you I love you, I love you I do but I want to die anyway Cause I sucked down my lover my lover is gone cauterizing my veins Oh the light was so bright I needed to hide the beauty terrorized me so I crawled in a hole and sealed all the cracks waiting for sanctuary Well the grave that I dug and where I laid down was not a good place to rest For what must be God keeps bringing me back and tells me to stop playing dead playing dead, playing dead playing dead, oh lord I'm dead Get up and walk Get up and walk Get up and walk with me for the light was so bright I needed to hide the beauty terrorized me
