[Verse 1]
Lap of light
Cover the way and keep my side
Or steal away from me
And keep a tight lip in secret silence
Eyes like mine
Watching you blow us all to hell
But if you took our lives
There would be no one to tell your story

Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down", I heard you say
But it's over and I just can't believe I'm wrong
How can I make you understand?
Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down", I heard you say
But it's over and I knew it was all along

It was the first time we messed around with sampling an...
