Watch the day break. Wake up it's starting.
The silence is deafening & there's fear inside their eyes.
In the distance there's thunder & lightning.
The light touches everything & makes the darkness fall apart.
Cause you know, no matter what they say.
You & I could have ended it differently.
Stay with me cause I don't feel like I'm ready to die yet.
Just hold me close. Don't ever feel like I'm letting you go.
Watch the blood flow through the cracks in your armour.
You're spineless & withering, when the fuck did it all go wrong.
Pace in circles across the horizon.
The silence meant everything once they'd picked & pulled apart.
Cause you know, no matter what they say.
You & I could have ended it differently.
Stay with me cause I don't feel like I'm ready to die yet.
Just hold me close. Don't ever feel like I'm letting you go.
Stripped to the bone. Take what you want from me.
Look what we've done. Bringing our knees to the ground.
Darken their eyes. Ending the suffering.
Feeding them lies. Bringing their knees to the ground.
Stay with me cause I don't feel like I'm ready to die yet.
Just hold me close. Don't ever feel like I'm letting you go.
