lyrics

Oh the stars are swelling in the sky
The lives we lead, they ever grow
Oh the north, she washes in the tide
The moon, she cries

If we can't be faithful
Why do we say so
While we're starting fires
It's the bitter, sad silence we wait for
While we get the taste of
What's taking us higher
It's a very strange cycle

Oh the storm is moving through her mind
The tears arrive at every turn
Though she paws her restless heavy eyes
She feels alive

I won't take you up for more
I won't sit here starting fires
I won't change to meet the mold
If we can be faithful,
Why do we hide it?

Run away oh run away
Honestly I'm trying
Fall asleep oh fall asleep
Down the dream I'll dive

Depths to the deep, I dive x3
