Through the Dark by Ehret Lyrics

That was long ago
Count on my fingers
The days I know
The words you taught me
And I learned to go
Inside and outside the fold

Captivated by such matters
Obsessed with the dark
Took me to places
Where I recognized the mark

Apathy and derisive wit
Children now are born with it
Clothed in the finest tatters
Just gold

No further does a heartbeat warrant love
Nor does rain and signs from above
You’ve mastered the metrics
But your measurement’s assured
You’ve lost the word
When did you think you’d fall down?
That was long ago
Count on my fingers
The days I know
The words you taught me
And I learned to go
Inside and outside the fold
