lyrics

you were freezing out of the direct sunlight
and you prayed for it to come right back, and when it did...

you could breathe a little more, just a little more,
counting every sip of air
that you could steal from around
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

you were brave, along the bumpy road, you did it all by yourself,
believe me, I was there and I saw you
tame it, and take control of it, the monster under the bed,
that unnamed nasty beast, the void...
the one that swallows you

the light breeze, the fields of golden wheat
the hard light on the land
the curvy little roads, the houses made of stone
in a dense undergrowth all is quiet and old
my grown-up little sister planted in crumbled ground
oh, you were dry and bound, a flower despite the rocks
all the petals she lost, a flower despite the rocks

he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me
he loves me not, he loves me...
