VERSE ONE:
don't say it was but a warning
don't say i should've seen it coming
these words are not mine
my tongue was cut long before i lied
your head is filled with seven oceans
crossing one over the other
you build and climb atop seven skies,
cross over the border
you've been chasing a mirage
heaven is right here; in your heart
you dug next to a companionless grave
and buried yourself in to say to the sleeping man,
"you're not alone,
there's a million stories, hidden in your soul
if only there was illuminance,
if only i was literate enough to read them."
CHORUS:
seven heavens below my feet, do you hear me?
i found my partners in crime, my soul-searching dynasty
who write on the ceiling of the sky,
"adventure awaits, and you're coming with me."
garden of eden beneath my feet,
i've sealed my soul all clear
and my soul-searching journey ends here
POST-CHORUS ONE:
'cause i swore: empty-hearted i came
but i left with hands in my own, as we go
we dilly-dally and pocket rays of sunshine
we skip with our heartbeats and dream way past our bedtime
we reach for the stars, we glow in the dark
we play merry go rounds as the daisies fall down
VERSE TWO:
go, i forgive you till morning comes
i'll be with you and your stormy suns
but you must promise this will all some day,
lead to something big and meaningful
these days, i've not had it in me
to search for the beauty in everyday things
these sunglasses are my rose-colored lens
these papers stick to my chest
like a newborn, i'm a newborn human
in this moment, with you
(CHORUS)
POST-CHORUS TWO:
we rinse away our sorrows and our loneliness
that clings to us like our favourite cardigan
we feign our royal duties, but with you i'm obligated
to plug out all the streams that flow with impurities and hatred
BRIDGE:
'cause i was prowling in the wildnerness
sound asleep in darkness
when a bird flew past my window
last i heard was a chirp before i was left an only soul
to this day i ask myself
were they angels or crooked humans
who helped ones such as themselves?
i was deaf and mute, i was futile, by the time they arrived
now i spend every day and night repaying them in kind
i wish i could open their hearts and see
just how deep of love god has gifted me
i wish they're granted the highest heaven
i wish their lofty abode is in paradise
but most of all, i wish i could tell them:
"you are the reason i ended my search
to be at war with the world.
you're tattooed in my mind with everything i do
can you come to life or shall i die for you?"
(CHORUS)
OUTRO:
i wish they're granted the highest heaven
i wish their lofty abode is in paradise
but most of all, i wish i could tell them:
"you are the reason i ended my search
to be at war with the world.
you're tattooed in my mind with everything i do
can you come to life or shall i die for you?"
