|
I put the breath in your lungs |
|
And I'll take it back if I want. |
|
I'll pour the water the floods out your trachea. |
|
I put the words on your tongue. |
|
With one word I say, I'll take them away. |
|
I'll cut the wires that run through your cranium. |
|
Do you believe wonderful things |
|
Are waiting in the shadows to start happening? |
|
I would believe what you believe |
|
If you'd only stop believing in me. |
|
I put the fire in the sky |
|
And I'll make it darker than you'd ever realise. |
|
If you think you've seen everything, you should open your eyes. |
|
I would believe what you believe |
|
If we could agree on a single thing. |
|
I would believe what you believe |
|
If you'd only stop believing. |
|
If it's such a miracle then |
|
I'm starting over again. |
|
1 |
|
I need new bones, I need them. |
|
2 |
|
If it's such a miracle then |
|
I'm starting over again. |
|
I'll prove you wrong, I'll prove it. |
|
I put the breath in your lungs |
|
And I'll take it back if I want. |
|
I'll pour the water the floods out your trachea. |
|
I put the words on your tongue |
|
With one word I say, I'll take them away. |
|
I'll cut the wires that run through your cranium. |

|
The record doesn't lie |
|
So what friend could the record be? |
|
4 |
|
We will all be forgotten at the final beat |
|
When our synapses finally sleep. |
