You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What i thought and what i said
You are the nighttime fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over, your start
You're my head, you're my heart
No light no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
Revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And i'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowd i was crying out and in your place
There were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, i need to make it right
You are the revelation, you are the get right
But it's a conversation i just can't have tonight
You are the revelation, some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
Revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And i'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
Would you leave me if i told you what i'd done
And would you leave me if i told you what i'd become
Because it's so easy, to sing it to a crowd
But it's so hard my love, to say it to you all alone
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
Revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And i'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
You are the revelation, you are the get right
But it's a conversation i just can't have tonight
You are the revelation, some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
You are the revelation, you are the get right
But it's a conversation i just can't have tonight
You are the revealtion, some kind of resolution
Any words you want me to say

That same pastiche of influences holds true for the next single off the album, which, in a bit of an exclusive, Welch revealed during our interview (even though she probably wasn't supposed to).
"I do [know what it's going to be] but I don't think [I'm supposed to say]," she said. "I think it's going to be 'No Light, No Light.' ... It was the first song we wrote for this next record, actually. And the intro was written on my tour bus at four in the morning going to Amsterdam. We had gone out for [Machine member] Rob [Ackroyd]'s birthday to an all-night restaurant in Brussels called Midnights. We went to this funny restaurant and then got on the tour bus and everyone was a bit drunk and it was like, 'Yeah, let's write a song.'
"And we recorded the sound of the bus moving, a real drone-y bass sound, and that's the intro, and then the tour bus arrived in Amsterdam [and we were saying], 'Let's go toast this song! We will find a bar that will serve us drinks at 7 in the morning! Come!' " she laughed. "So we trotted off into Amsterdam and managed to find a sports bar that would only serve us Midori. It was bright-green drinks and me and [Machine member] Isa [Summers] kind of looking like crazy old ladies."
