Fault Line

歌詞

We tread the water just to keep our bodies warm They say it's darkest just before the break of dawn Raised on bedtime tales of the leviathan below Unholy enemies, so faceless, dark and cold Every second leaves us guessing Stepping backward and regressing Cracks will form and show How far we are from what we think we know Taloned claws will tear me open Sharpened knives will cut the rope Let us fall Let us see that we deserved it all We're holding tighter to every moment But it's only just a matter of time Say a prayer, before you run out of air We're heading straight for a fault line If only we could open our eyes I won't die for this, I won't die for you 'Cause I'd kill to be anywhere but here with you And I take no solace in the knowledge that we're doomed Bound from birth to tomb We found a hole in the armour, found a break in the chain And we promised ourselves it wouldn't happen again (So heaven help me now) We built a temple to the clouds (Keep my feet aground) Too self-obsessed to guess We'd watch it all come crashing down I didn't climb this high to watch us stoop so low We tied the loop at the end of the rope We're holding tighter to every moment But it's only just a matter of time Say a prayer, before you run out of air We're heading straight for a fault line If only we could open our eyes So keep on treading water 'til your blood runs cold And when the void opens up beneath you You're better off to face it alone Black hole Ambition, extinction We're all bound to repeat Contrition, perdition Until again we meet Until again we meet If this is all we are The flickers of a dying star We never stood a chance So if you see me leaving Just give me one good reason To wait around Stand beside you as the sky falls down If this is all we are The flickers of a dying star We never stood a chance We're holding tighter to every moment But it's only just a matter of time Say a prayer, before you run out of air We're heading straight for a fault line If only we could open our eyes
