Tendons (The Release)

Barely beating now

My heart is overcome

I fear there's nothing left for you

Can you hear my heart from there

It seems the distance is

What i chose to bear

So rip these tendons, they hinder my reach towards you

Rip these tendons, they hinder my reach towards you

Would you meet me here

Where i rest my bones

Where i lay my head down

This place is my escape

Oh god, i need you to initiate

So rip these tendons, they hinder my reach towards you

Rip these tendons, they hinder my reach

Light up the sky

Set our hearts on fire

Light up the sky

Let us see our creator

So rip these tendons, they hinder my reach towards you

Rip these tendons, they hinder my reach towards you

If the titanic was made to sink

Then so was my heart

For i made sure it was impenetrable

Oh, what a wretched man i am

Who will save me from this flesh

Paul whispers in my ear,

Oh, don't worry my friend

You're in good company

Poets before me have tried

To measure this love

And if 40,000 brothers cannot

With all of their quantity of love

Make up this sum

Then how can my heart contain this mass

It would only burst at the seams into

A million tender pieces

So what then

What good is a broken heart to you

Could you even hear my heart from there

And like a father assuring his son

To come home

Oh my son, it's enough, it's enough

So who am i to accept this grace

That just falls like rain

Cause we all know i chose to lay

My head in this desert

But like a fish out of water

We only know then what it means

To be parched

So if christ is alive, the love,

And the groom

Then take heed my friends

For chivalry is not dead

For i know no other lover who would

Have met me here in this place

So i awake and i rise from my bed

Of complacency

Oh, my god i've been sleeping

With a corpse

Oh, and these bed sores they still

Rest in my bones

Oh, how i've made a beautiful dance

With this cadaver but my audience

Is appalled

Oh, how strong these tendons

How they desperately need to rip

From this ancient adam

So light up the sky

Set me a flame

Burn this bone and tissue

For i no longer want to be

Entangled in this sinew

That hinders my reach towards you

Light up the sky

Set our hearts on fire

Light up the sky

Let us see our creator
