Zero Hour
Lyrics © Clare O’Brien

Running got you nowhere, speeding through the broken dark
The moon rose but the sky was fastened shut
The headlights didn't light your way
The morning didn't make your day
The trees along the roadside broke your heart

But it rains 'cause she's crying
And it shines 'cause you smile
And it's time for the morning
Save yourself for a while

The forest was your backbone but the city knocked you down
Your dead life burned like paper in the wind
The drifting smoke got in your eyes
You told yourself too many lies
Your soul burned down to ashes on the ground

But it rains 'cause she's crying
And it shines 'cause you smile
And it's time for the morning
Save yourself for a while

Her eyes shone through the static like a bright magnesium flare
The chill inside your bones began to thaw
And for a moment you could cope
With just a wisp of fragile hope
Although you didn't know what it was for

And it rains 'cause she's crying
And it shines 'cause you smile
And it's time for the morning
Save yourself for a while
