lyrics

where does the movement start?
i must confess i'm still waiting in the loneliest of parts
and their shooting stares at me like i'm the enemy over the sea, who did you raise them to be.

if my mind could beat, it'd beat steady with my heart
it wouldn't give up
well sometimes i don't feel like i have the right
to where you around my neck

if my neck was a stage then it would break with every wrong line i'd say
and we'd collapse over and over again
you picked me up like a stepped on seashell that once was beautiful

i swear i'll find the most brilliant stars
and i'll reel them in just for you
and when the darkness begins to cave in
i'll be standing on the edge of the world for you my god

your eyes they got so quiet choking in silence
children laughing at failures
and attempts to reconnect to live again
attempts to fight for something, attempts to see the end

i swear i'll find the most brilliant stars
and i'll reel them in just for you
and when the darkness begins to cave in
i'll be standing on the edge of the world for you my god
