Open the sky
A graceful breath
Will lift you over treetops as your heart is caving in
A hand that heals
A wish that fades
There's nothing left that cant be placed into our picture frame
And these melodies will soar over the sea and past your ears
Your eyes like prisms filter snapshots into pools of bloodstained tears
And these words are like a shot piercing you skin into your veins
Lifting your eyelids just enough to watch me slowly drift away
These are the moments in our lives that capture us inside
These are the reasons we're alive
For every second that slips by there's more terror in your eyes
I will be with you when you die
A prison for the dead
I'm not leaving until you're safe from this decay
An exit from the fire
A coastal sunset that's burning out in shades of grey
So take a breath this poison filling up your chest is vengeance at its best
And I will stand over the grave in which you lay and apologize for not keeping safe
