[Verse 1]
Down the hall
There's a girl
With her face between her hands
Salty tears
Reach her lips
And fall away without a sound
Down the street
There’s a boy
Crying gently in the sand
This time around he stays down
[PreChorus]
You're jaded. Wasted. Naked. Checkmated
You're broken. Exposed and unwoven. Ripped open
You’re sinking. Screaming. 'Help me... I'm bleeding.'
But you're way down, below ground
Where there's no sound
Lights out
I'm a candle
I'm a lit flame
I’m a floodlight
I’m a band aid
I'm a gas mask
I’m a life raft
I'm a ladder
I'm an aircraft
[Chorus]
When you can't speak, I’m a war cry
When you can't sleep, I'm a lullaby
When your wounds bleed
When you can't breathe
When there's no pulse...
I'm a heart beat
I am blue skies
I am sunrise
I am freedom
I am new life
I am healing...
Rescue is here
[Verse 2]
She heaves a sigh
Dries her eyes
Goes outside and starts to run
Passers by
Wonder why
But she won't stop for anyone
She runs and runs
But it's no use -
There is no running from the truth
The tears come back and she goes down
[PreChorus]
You're jaded. Wasted. Naked. Checkmated
You're broken. Exposed and unwoven. Ripped open
You're sinking. Screaming. 'Help me... I'm bleeding.'
But you're way down, below ground
Where there's no sound
Lights out
I'm a candle
I'm a lit flame
I'm a floodlight
I'm a band aid
I'm a gas mask
I'm a life raft
I'm a ladder
I'm an aircraft
[Chorus]
When you can't speak, I'm a war cry
When you can't sleep, I'm a lullaby
When your wounds bleed
When you can't breathe
When there's no pulse...
I'm a heart beat
I am blue skies
I am sunrise
I am freedom
I am new life...
[Bridge]
Let me in let me in
Let me fix you
Let me do what I do
From within you
Let me take you apart
Make you brand new, yeah
You go out like a light when it hits you
But you're somebody else when you come to
Nothing's ever the same when I come through, No
(Nothing's ever the same.)
[Chorus]
When you can't speak, I'm a war cry
When you can't sleep, I'm a lullaby
When your wounds bleed
When you can't breathe
When there's no pulse...
I'm a heart beat
I am blue skies
I am sunrise
I am freedom
I am new life
I am healing...
