All that I’m building,
the road that I’m walking
leads me back to you.
Oh you’re still breathing
you know that I’m fading;
please bring me back to you.
oh we were earth before we were stars
and fell back in a blaze of light.
lost in our mirth before we had scars,
and were seized by the grip of night.
Oh oh bury me now
oh oh deep in the ground
oh oh I found your crown
so, I carried it round.
Days of deep raining,
a mountainside draining;
I don’t know what to do.
Found your head bleeding,
your heart stopped its beating
oh, what did we do?
Your arms they were leaves pushed straight to the sun
till they broke with the weight of lies.
Your eyes they were sieves showing all we had done
but they closed and yes you died.
Oh, oh bury me now
oh oh deep in the ground
oh oh I found your crown
so so, I carried it round.
so I, carried you down (x4)
