lyrics

Your barricade went up, the tremor hit too soon
Rebounding like elastic pulled across a steel rule
You separate the options, consolidate the means
Consider all the candidates serrated into three:
One of them’s a bore, one of them’s a fool
One of them’s a liar and he says that he loves you, oh -
Destroy the two you can’t defend
’Cos they don’t have the stamina to see this to the end...

Bones break
Arms ache
Souls escape
And I know that you weren’t saved
As earth decays
The dead could wake
But I won’t let you go…

Now we’re crucified, impaled; the parachutes have failed
We’re gathering momentum as we founder in the gale
Our senses are estranged, there’s no-one left to blame
The air that once gave life to us is howling and deranged.
If nobody moves, then no-one gets hurt
So I will lie still, surrender my nerves, oh -
And I’ll be here when you wake
Another day away from you is more than I can take…

Bones break
Arms ache
Souls escape
And I know that you weren’t saved
As earth decays
The dead could wake
But I won’t let you go…

Breathe me in, the sky will let you
Breathe me in, the sky will let you

The end has come, but you don’t have to be afraid, just close your eyes
And I am one with you all of the time, all of the time inside
You breathe, so quiet and calm, and you feel so serene to me
And darling, now our fall is gaining speed…

And I would give to you all that you’ll ever need, so you can be
All of the things you wanted to believe you’d always be
At the greatest height that you have ever seen
Now sleep, my sweet, and darling I will be there when you dream

Take me with you
when you dream
