lyrics

In your eyes, I see blue skies and I
Know my race is won
In your eyes, I feel untied from this
Ever-sinking sun
This ever-sinking sun

In your hands I see my plans, how they
Look so small from where I stand
Yet I’m still left blind and deaf
And wondering

If this is the bread of life
Or a beautiful web of lies,
And can I be satisfied with truth unshown?
These questions can paralyze
Till I’m breathless and terrified
But when I’m shaking at your side
I’m halfway home

In your heart, my broken parts will fit
Together perfectly
With light and dark you'll paint a masterpiece
I'll see every Breath I could ever take
And every Comet in outer space
Eclipse all of my mistakes
And say that

This is the bread of life
We've corrupted and weaponized
Can I reclaim its light, though shadows grow and grow?
I know I'm afraid of heights
And never bothered to recognize
That even in the dead of night
I’m not alone
But finally I realize we’re halfway home
