lyrics

You are not in danger, loud as you may scream
Life is not a fabric tearing at the seams
This is not a mountain, high as it may seem
Do we not live in dreams?

You may wake
And find your heart is beating by mistake
You can't take more of this
You've washed the blood off from your wrists

But you may sleep
And find yourself a lover who is more adept than this
At all the permutations of a kiss
As he appears to you
Just so he is made to be true

You are not in danger, loud as you may scream
Life is not a fabric tearing at the seams
This is not an ocean, wide as it may seem
Do we not live in dreams?

In our sleep
We wander weightless, I can't wake you
Even if your life can take you
Up inside it's arms and break you
We go our separate ways
But I'll look after you always

Walk due east, away from sunsets
I will walk due west, fast enough to follow them
We'll go our separate ways
But I'll look after you always

So you can sleep
And find yourself a lover who is more adept than this
At all the permutations of a kiss
If in your dreams he can exist
Just so he is made manifest

You are not in danger, loud as you may scream
Life is not a fabric tearing at the seams
You are not a mountain, high as you may seem
Do we not live in dreams?
