Very folky and mood-whiplash-y, so if it's too slow for you at first wait a bit. :) +Lyrics: |- + There was a darkness, that soothed me, and raised me up to dream + In an abyss, those nightmares, they’re not what they seem + They whispered of a world they’d known + Where every child was their own + All the colours of an oil spill when moonlight hits the wave, I’ll save you all + + You’ve seen all the things that I’ve seen, you’ve been all the places I’ve been, my friend + You know all the things that I know, well maybe not all but most so who cares? Who is better or worse than anyone? + I’ve made mistakes along the way, but who said things should stay the same? I don’t agree + The universe is filled with so “moray” new exciting things to see, for you and me + + You don’t need saving, you can save yourself + You’re all so special from the inside out + Just take a second, look how far we’ve come + I bet if the nightmares could see me now they’d say well done + + Well done, well done, well done daughter, daughter well done... + + There was a darkness, that knew me, and raised me wild and strong + So hated, and so feared was she, though fearful most of all + She whispered of a hunger deep + And as old as the bones beneath her meat + All strange serenades and never sleeps yet never wakes, I’ll break your fall + + You’ve done everything that you could, you feel like there’s something else you’re supposed to do + Who crossed that road, who burned that bridge, who fought that current and swam with the fish, was it you? + I’ve lost a friend, I’ve gained a friend, what’s a friend mean but a means to an end? I tried my best with + Everyone I’ve ever loved I'll outlive unless I can find where life inside me rests, it is my test + + You don’t need saving, anymore, anymore + But I’m still waving from a not-so-distant shore + Just take a second, look at what you’ll start + I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you, from darkness inside your heart + + Your heart, your heart, your hardened heart, friend… \ No newline at end of file |
