lyrics

Told my tongue to be sharp, told my mouth to be clean
Told me how to believe in the things that I've seen
Told me all of the words I should say
made the wind and the water to blow me away
but my ship won't sail beyond these simple machines

Had a reason to live, had a reason to stay
Had a reason to give but I gave it away
I'll atone in the course of a minute
if I can believe in the way that you spin it
but bless the breath that's saved is all I can say

Go to sleep, close your eyes
Don't believe the lies
Can't express emptiness
from which love may rise

Built a tower for you and I loved it so well
hanging off of the edge 'til I finally fell
All I could think as my body did fly
was about all the things that I left in the sky
When I hit the ground it rang just like a bell

Go to sleep, close your eyes
don't believe the lies
Can't express emptiness
from which love may rise

See me lifting you up
while you're draggin me down, down, down, down
