"There comes a point when we must ask ourselves if the ones we love are the reason we crawl out of bed in the morning or the reason that we crawl into our graves in the end"
lyrics
Our fragile future isn't over
The voices calling to me, they're asking me please
Where did we come from? And where do we go?
I pointed her west, said stay out of the dark
She's checking my chest for possession of her heart
I wonder if I played my part?
Focus, but relax. Sit back and enjoy the,
Show me your demons, You know I, I just want to see them
We're on a permanent voyage to the places we'll never see
Between the man in the moon and the sand on the dunes
Our bodies are all that we need
The ice isn't thick, no we're falling right through
I know that it's awful what they've done to you
The hinges are rusted, and ready to snap.
We've been walking this line, for such a long time
Would I cut off the hand to save the mind?
We bend until we break ourselves in half
The empowered, the holy
You wouldn't believe what they told me
They said that time is the poison we need
(They said that time is the poison we need)
Focus, but relax. Sit back and enjoy the,
Show me your demons, You know I, I just want to see them
We're on a permanent voyage to the places we'll never see
Between the man in the moon and the sand on the dunes
Our bodies are all that we need
The ice isn't thick, no we're falling right through
I know that it's awful what they've done to you
The hinges are rusted, and ready to snap.
We've been walking this line, for such a long time
Would I cut off the hand to save the mind?
We bend until we break ourselves in half
I used to hang you on the walls, the shadow my adulteress
I know I used to think my body was a fortress
It's there in the mirror, right there behind me
The shadow of a ghost, or the animal inside me?
(I know I used to think, I know, I know I used to think but I was wrong.)
