lyrics

You never asked to carry this crucifix.
You are no martyr if you’re fighting back the whips.
The tapestries you’ve woven, just like torches in the dark.
Harness the hellfire, turn scar tissue to a spark.
From the embers that they shoved you in, you’ll build a monument.
But you’ll watch it turn to ash again, before they dare touch it.

(They dare touch it?)

Hold your breath.
Below it gets silent and cold.

And you’re seeking treasure in a deep-sea dive.
Your heart is racing, but you’re still alive.
And my life preserves only travel so far out,
I just hope you’ll search out the lighthouse.

(We’ll always be in the lighthouse)

You’ve taken a tour of all nine circles,
So what’s one more descent?
I know the story has no consequence,
But I don’t want to see it end.
I’ll never know your hailstorm,
What sends you so far down,
But I’ll always pull you up for air,
When you’re drawn back towards the sounds.

Open your lungs.
For a time we still have the sun.

Please don’t drown what has yet to breathe.
Tomorrow holds more than the past may seem.
I can tell you where to go or what to seek,
But I’ll leave a map by your bedside the night before you leave.
