Forty Screams

[Verse 1]
I hope you are a dreamer
Dust on your knees
Give us one or two whispers
Then give us forty screams

[Verse 2]
Is this the future
Standing over me?
Will it grow, will it burst, when the flower blooms
Or can it rise from such a seed?

[Refrain 1]
I can't bear another day like this
I can't bear another day like this
If I can't bear to see the dark, can you?

[Interlude]
I know just what you're feeling

[Verse 2]
So, throw a rope around the morning
Tie it tightly to your chest
And while you pull for something bright and something golden
Split infinity into forty breaths

[Refrain 2]
'Cause I had wanted a better world for you
I had wanted a better world for you
If I can't bear to see it through, will you?

[Refrain 2]
I had wanted a better world for you
I had wanted a better world for you
If I can't bear to see it through, can you?

[Outro]
A young ghost in an old body
Caught inbetween the throat and the lungs
Speak love, speak love, speak
Old ghost in a young body
Caught inbetween the throat and the tongue
Scream love, scream love, scream love
