To See You Alive

(álbum: Sleep - 2012)

You can't be by yourself
You can't be by yourself
They kept you in the dark
In a room with nothing sharp
Until you were well

You told me that you were so
Scared of what they know
But love isn't afraid
Love is using your first name
In the poems that I wrote

Follow me to a home
Abandoned at the shore
There's a story on the walls
Written in marker across the halls
That you'll adore

And no one can see us now
Like the sun behind the clouds
Let's grab a drink for lunch
And wash out the taste of blood
From our guilty mouths

When you stepped into the light
I saw it running down your thighs
And thought what a beautiful sight
To see you alive
