Now and then
It's night again
Like black ink pouring from a pen

Curse my eyes
For opening
I'm having trouble just recovering

And in those hours we gazed
Upon white sheets, torn back from a page
My heart is spent
Almost erased

Turn the world down
There's nothing between
All this beauty and this suffering

Please if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything
Like a blade 
Keen and thin
Scimitar soft like a maid beneath his skin

Upon this scene
Disgrace and sin
Where are you now?
Where have you been?

And in those hours we gazed
Upon red sheets, pulled back by the rage
My heart is spent
Almost erased

Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?

And if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything

Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?

My mind is bent
It's stamping my soul
I'm burning down
To tar and charcoal
To blood and ash
To feathers and trash

I gotta move

Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?

And if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything

Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?

I gotta move

I wanna move

Now and then

It's night again

It's night again
