lyrics

In a perfect world nothing would ever end,
And stars would not fall from the sky,
And time would be still without walls, or pills,
And everything sacred would only be worshipped and loved.

There is no reason to save you, no reason to save you,
There is no reason to save you, everything goes into the fire.
All that you are for the moment, all you are for the moment,
All that you are will be gone. Will I try to hold on,
Or will I just let you go?

I'm sick of the flood and I'm sick of keeping faith,
And I can't really tell if anything's working.
They're burning the maps to sell the ship for scraps,
But who's going to dive into the dark when it sinks?

There is no reason to save you, no reason to save you,
There is no reason to save you, everything goes into the fire.
All that you've done for the moment, all you've done for the moment,
All that you've done will be gone. Will I try to hold on,
Or will I just let it go?

One day I will build you a shining, brand new universe,
And so you can ride it with me all the way to the end.
I cannot let go because I am too will be lost,
And I can't hold on, 'cause the fire is burning my hands.
