just like this they'll go on forever.
mommy, my feet can't breathe.
hand in hand walking toward the water
is it almost time we can leave?
i don't know what to do.
but i know i'm not in love.
give me a hand, i'll cross the ocean.
proud as the fire, drained of blood.
i can't see through salt water.
what would you ask to be your mother?
this is the price i'm paying.
here i've got all i need.
though you're the spark i'll live for,
trapped in your hand,
i can't succeed.
i want to be your martyr.
hold me and let me die.
wrap me up in velvet fire.
follow where ashes fly.
i don't know what to do.
but i know i'm not in love.
give me a hand, i'll cross the ocean.
proud as the fire, drained of blood.
i can't see past the brazier.
what would you ask to be your savior?
brazen angels won't keep near.
circling in feathers they fly away.
taciturn fools won't disappear.
i haven't the heart to tell them not to stay.
he takes her small hand gently.
kisses her cheek and starts to leave.
she doesn't ask where he is going.
the farther he walks, the more she's free.
like this he'll go on forever.
lover, my heart can't bleed.
she walks till she's floating on the water.
wings made of lead, she finally breathes.
i don't know what to do.
but i know i'm not in love.
give me a hand, i'll cross the ocean.
proud as the fire, drained of blood.
i can't see through salt water.
what would you ask to be your lover?
brazen angels won't keep near.
circling in feathers they fly away.
taciturn fools won't disappear.
i haven't the heart to tell them not to stay.
i can't see through salt water.
what would you ask to be your lover?
