Sleeping At Last Atlas Four Lyrics

[Verse]
I'm turning out the lights
To remember how to see
Until a renaissance takes place
And resuscitates the color of paint and divinity

[Verse]
As if God hid the building blocks
Of every beautiful thing
In this game of hide and seek
I can't help but think that ordinary has swallowed the key

[Bridge]
Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust
For a moment we get to be glorious
Ice sculptures adorned in light
Sand castles built tall in between the tides

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm hiding behind metaphor
Maybe my heart needs to break to be sure
One day I'll wear it all on my sleeve
The insignificant with the sacred unique

[Verse]
But I've fallen in love with a ghost
And I lost my balance when I needed it most
This blurry photograph is proof
Of what I'm not sure but it feels like truth

[Verse]
I'm stuck swimming in shadows down here
It's been forever since I came up for air
Flashlight in hand determined to find
Authenticity only poetry could even begin
To try to describe

[Bridge]
Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust
For a moment we get to be glorious
Get to be glorious
Get to be glorious

[Outro]
What if we already are
Who we've been dying to become
In certain light I can plainly see
A reflection of magnificence
Hidden in you
Maybe even in me
