about

Written by Nello and Gid

lyrics

So say that it's all alright
And I'll be your whore tonight
I meant what you thought I said
Words out of my mouth
And into your

Head for light
Even the darkest night
Won't swallow these stars
If that's where we are, I'm falling

Hide my face
So scarred by the day
They line up to see
What happened to me

Cover the light in your quiet way
And shadow my pain
Kissed by the flame
Again and again
I fell through a hole in the sky

I'll be your fingers
I'll be your hands
You be the ocean
You be the ocean
I'll be the land

Slipped through your fingers
Fell through your hands
Dropped in the ocean
Fortune is feeding on what we might be
Trapped in a mirror but no-one reflected but me
Oh see

Who'd have thought
With feathers undone
I would have tried
To fly
So close to the sun
