oh don't you know i'd nail myself
to a cross
for you?
but your lips are stitched so close
and the blood
d
r
i
p
s
like wilted petals from a rose...
i will bleed 'til there's nothing left to give
out of blind hope
that you
might learn to live.
it's a long fall from the top of the building
but it gets better
every time.
it's a long fall from your head to your heart
but it gets sweeter
with every jagged line
hey, don't you know i'd break myself
so you could swallow
every tear-soaked piece?
did you hear of the demons
in my soul
and how their cries
beg for release?
did your shaking fingers touch god
when you held
my face in your hands?
it's a long fall from the edge of a cliff
but every rock
serves to justify
it's a long fall from the clouds to the earth
but when heaven's full
angels are first to die
don't you know i wanted so much more than this?
but it's a long fall from the edge of a cliff.
don't you know i thought i knew what love was worth?
but it's a long fall from the clouds to the earth.
i can't wait for you to open when i'm aiming to start
cuz it's a long, long fall from my head to my heart. it falls apart.
