Wait For The Blackout - Alkaline Trio

Don’t you ask me to come out

When the sun does shine

Let us stay here with curtains drawn

In darkness you’ll be mine

Let’s wait for the blackout

The light is too bright

Let’s wait for the blackout

Wait for the night

Well welcome to my basement flat

No windows to see through

When darkness falls again, my friend

We’ll both know what to do Let’s wait for the blackout

The light is too bright

Let’s wait for the blackout

Wait for the night

Come walk with me upon the earth

That keeps us both alive

No living thing has lasted here

Yet we can both survive

Let’s wait for the blackout

The light is too bright

Let’s wait for the blackout

Wait for the night

In darkness there is no sin

Light only brings in fear

Nothing to corrupt the eyes

There is no vision here

At first you may find it strange

But please don’t go away

There’s power in the nighttime

That you won’t find in the day

There is no vision here

There is no vision here
