Lyrics
Burning ships are piled to the sky as
A dead breeze carries our words like knives
To the centre of a concrete gate,
Littered with the ruins of our failed escapes.
“Easily the strongest of us all”
Spoke the wearer of the mask to the concrete wall.
There’s never been an easy path,
Even as the sand shapes the hourglass,
Even if the first really do come last;
Lord knows the sun is burning fast.
Are you afraid of the big bad wolf
Standing naked in the rain at the edge of the wood?
At the centre of a pitch black mine,
Only in your heart are you doing time,
Gotta use your claws if you’re gonna climb,
Sign away your life on a deadline.
Honey I told you there’d be days like this,
I know it’s hard getting over it.
Throw those dreams in a wishing well
And I promise I’ll never tell
Honey I told you there’d be days like this,
I know it’s hard getting over it.
Throw those dreams in a wishing well
And I promise I’ll never tell
Honey I told you there’d be days like this,
I know it’s hard getting over it.
Throw those dreams in a wishing well
And I promise I’ll never tell
