Ghosts by Take Breath Lyrics
Please God take me cause I can’t take it
This trial I’m faced with is proving aging
Our bodies weightless the rafters swaying
I cradled her and mourned for everything
I’m tired of breathing I need your mercy
My lungs are heavy from rust and debris
No heart can beat if another is bleeding
Oh my love, all hope is gone
Darling dearest, the sky is forgone
Without the rain to surge my spirit
I’ll sojourn on til the streets see me perish
I’m tired of breathing I need your mercy
My lungs are heavy from rust and debris
No heart can beat if another’s bleeding
Oh rain, why won’t you fall?
Are we something more than we were before?
Are we to die in vain after all that we’ve endured?
Hear me now, and you’ll find time keeps me close
If we leave this town alive it’ll be as ghosts
When all the songs we sing are simply their rhetoric
A bird born in a cage would think to fly might make them sick
But it’s us that grow from the vines like fruit for the crows to pick
Are we something more than we were before?
Are we to die in vain after all that we’ve endured?
Hear me now, and you’ll find time keeps me close
If we leave this town alive it’ll be as ghosts
For the sun to rot and the roots to choke
If our souls should meet it’ll be as ghosts
The prisms have cast their light in true colour
If only I could tell the rain I loved her
I’m torn between this world so unfeeling
And fighting til it’s hands might greet me
A caged bird sings whether trapped or let free
With our dying breaths we are proof of that at least
All our love
This trial I’m faced with is proving aging
Our bodies weightless the rafters swaying
I cradled her and mourned for everything
I’m tired of breathing I need your mercy
My lungs are heavy from rust and debris
No heart can beat if another is bleeding
Oh my love, all hope is gone
Darling dearest, the sky is forgone
Without the rain to surge my spirit
I’ll sojourn on til the streets see me perish
I’m tired of breathing I need your mercy
My lungs are heavy from rust and debris
No heart can beat if another’s bleeding
Oh rain, why won’t you fall?
Are we something more than we were before?
Are we to die in vain after all that we’ve endured?
Hear me now, and you’ll find time keeps me close
If we leave this town alive it’ll be as ghosts
When all the songs we sing are simply their rhetoric
A bird born in a cage would think to fly might make them sick
But it’s us that grow from the vines like fruit for the crows to pick
Are we something more than we were before?
Are we to die in vain after all that we’ve endured?
Hear me now, and you’ll find time keeps me close
If we leave this town alive it’ll be as ghosts
For the sun to rot and the roots to choke
If our souls should meet it’ll be as ghosts
The prisms have cast their light in true colour
If only I could tell the rain I loved her
I’m torn between this world so unfeeling
And fighting til it’s hands might greet me
A caged bird sings whether trapped or let free
With our dying breaths we are proof of that at least
All our love
