5. HEARTS WIDE SHUT |
|
|
|
Talk to me with words of sorrow, |
|
The only words I learned to know. |
|
Be still my bleeding heart, while I hold my breath |
|
And wait for it to pass, but it never will, never has. |
|
|
|
Your loving light will only wake them, |
|
Make them appear from their hiding. |
|
Would you make them disappear? |
|
But no one can, not even you. |
|
|
|
I crossed the oceans of tears |
|
And sacrificed all these hearts |
|
On the altar of you. |
|
But these same ghosts will haunt me |
|
Until my last days, |
|
One by one risen from their graves |
|
Telling me I'm not worth being forgiven |
|
For the all hearts wide shut. |
|
|
|
The white veil falls upon your face |
|
Covering the scars and tears. |
|
And as you walk down the aisle |
|
The marble steps end, and you fall. |
|
I won't be there to save you; |
|
I'll let you fall, just like the others before. |
|
|
|
I crossed the oceans of tears |
|
And sacrificed all these hearts |
|
On the altar of you. |
|
But these same ghosts will haunt me |
|
Until my last days, |
|
One by one risen from their graves |
|
Telling me I'm not worth being forgiven |
|
For the all hearts wide shut. |
