And the air was full of various storms and saints, praying in the streets,
as the banks begin to break, and I’m in the throes of it,
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
but you took your toll on me, so I gave myself over willingly
Oh, you got a hold on me
I don’t know how I don’t just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself how to be free … .
The monument of a memory, you tear it down in your head,
don’t make the mountain your enemy,
Get up, Get out there instead
you saw the stars out in front of you, too tempting not to touch
but even though it shocked you
something’s electric in your blood.
People just untie themselves
uncurling life lines
If you could just forgive yourself … .
But still you stumble, feet give away, outside the world is a violent place,
But you had to have him
And so you did
some things you let go in order to live,
while all around you the buildings sway
Sing it out loud, “who made us this way?”
I know you’re bleeding, but you’ll be okay,
hold onto your heart, don’t give it away.
You’ll find a rooftop to sing from
I’ll find a hallway to dance
you don’t need no edge to cling from, your heart is there it’s in your hands,
I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
But one day this will be over
I swear it’s not so far away
People just untie themselves
uncurling life lines
If you could just forgive yourself … .
But still you stumble, feet give away, outside the world is a violent place,
But you had to have him
And so you did
some things you let go in order to live,
while all around you the buildings sway
Sing it out loud, “who made us this way?”
I know you’re bleeding, but you’ll be okay,
hold onto your heart, you’ll keep it safe,
