lyrics

Cold air, come here; calm my hands.
I've thought up a plot they don't quite understand.
I'd love to help if I could relieve your instincts,
Oh, they've got you good.
This illusive world has consumed your reality,
Found along the falls & endless forest.
Oh, the ocean's bold.
I know there's more beyond the seas, beneath breeze.

Let me breathe & let me see the world.
Who are you to tell me not to?
Why must you withstand my words when all I do is care?

I can't leave you here,
Join me in the journey, starting new.
You won't leave this place.
I know it's all you know, but don't let it blind you.

So persistent for resistance, it's our next of settled differences in these trees of seasoned love.
Through the distance, in an instant we could find anything you'd ever dream if you'd only open up your mind.

Let me breathe & let me see the world.
Who are you to tell me not to?
Why must you withstand my words? It's for your good, I swear,

I can't leave you here,
Join me in the journey, starting new.
You won't leave this place.
I know it's all you know, but don't let it blind you from the truth.

This is much more than a warning, but much less than a threat.
If you don't know this by the morning your sun will set alone & helpless, longing for distance.
You'll be the god of your own sick world.

I can't leave you here but you won't leave this.
I can't leave you here but you won't leave this world.

Well I can't say that I can't say that I cannot save you.
Well I can't say that I cannot save your world.
