lyrics

I’m dreaming of drowning, it’s time for me to go back
I’ve been drowning in your dreaming
I’ve swam too far into your glimmering eyes
I can feel the fingers of the undertow caress my form
Whispering lullabies, as it lays me down to sleep
I was a fool to think, I could find a home
Out on the open sea
I have succumbed to mortal disease
How could I believe
I could breathe in iron and not sink?
I’m breathing but floundering my lungs are a foundry
Forging the blades that will free me from the boundaries of my body
Why am I so afraid to be freed by the fates?
I can feel the needles piercing my skin
Scratching at my skeleton
Severing the nerves that would betray me
I was a fool to think, I could find love
Out on the open sea
I have succumbed to mortal disease
How could I believe
I could breathe in iron and not sink?
No hay coraje en nuestros corazones
Porque sabemos el alma tras los ojos que vemos llorando
Sabemos el dolor de las promesas que rompemos
Sabemos que amor es un eterno sufrimiento
Sensations of numbness and warmth, washing over me
More comforting than any earthly embrace
It’s time to let go
And so I give myself to the depths
I am heavy, the water pressing in
Purifying, releasing soul from shell
I am blue, and wrought from iron
I will die
But when I am washed ashore on some moonless night
I will be whole
And I will walk the earth once more
And I will never seek shelter in the arms of the ocean
The tempest-the temptress
Ever again
No hay coraje en nuestros corazones
No hay coraje en decadencia
