HOW CAN EVERYBODY LET THE LIGHT BACK IN?

by Nick Jaina

How can we ever be okay again?
and were we ever before?
what does it mean to be okay
and how can you ever be sure?

how can everybody let the light back in
how can everybody let the light back in
how can everybody let the light back in
how can everybody let the light back in

oh God
don’t say that
let’s just say it’s not like that

how come everybody let their light go dim
it’s strange to see them dull it
walking through the field where the werewolves live
with just one silver bullet

how come everybody let the miners come
and strip the hills of laudanum
how come everybody let them whittle down
every adjective to a little noun

how can everybody let the light back in
how can everybody let the light back in
how can everybody let the light back in
how can everybody let the light back in
