[Verse 1]
We fell from a dying tree, we wait for it to leave
I wanna be, I wanna be
Leave ashes for borrowed instruments and borrowed hearts
We will pass them on to every saint and dead lover
I have my gods, will you give me my ghosts?
[Chorus 2]
Sons and daughters
May you kill what my blind heart could not
Sons and daughters
May you kill what my blind heart could not
Sons and daughters
May you kill
[Verse 2]
I saw your grandfather's death on the news
Remembered when you took me me to your room
You put your hand over your chest
So that the fire would rage
[Chorus 2]
Whoa I, I put my hand over my chest
Sons and daughters
I put my hand over my chest
Sons and daughters
I put my hand over my chest
Sons and daughters
[Post-Chorus]
So that the fire would rage
[Bridge]
Yeah, you know better ways to fall
Yeah, you know better ways to fall
You know better ways to fall
You knock me down, knock me down
Put my cold hand over my cold heart
[Outro]
Tell the fire to die, whoa
(Sons and daughters)
Tell the fire to die, whoa
(Sons and daughters)
Tell the fire to die
