(living off it, feeding on it)   (living off it, feeding on it)      there's a feeling of release   when i go off to sleep   'cause there's a feeling of relief   when i can no longer see   i'm just blind in the basement    and i'm outside   just another shadow cast in the slanted northern light      (living off it, feeding on it)      a change of scenery is so good for you   but now you're gone across the sea   and the arch of the earth hangs over me   it's a pendulum that glints in the twisted basement light   and i'm a prisoner in the pit, stripped of my strife      (living off it, feeding on it)      the sun sets at 10 o'clock   it comes up at 5   and i don't know how to walk or   what it takes to survive so many nights   without your beautiful northern light   so many nights   without your beautiful slanted northern light   so many nights   (living off it, feeding on it)   without your beautiful northern light   so many nights   (living off it, feeding on it)   and i'm blind in the basement   i'm out of sight   (living off it, feeding on it)
