Lyrics
Forty Screams
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hope you are a dreamer
Dust on your knees
Gives us one or two whispers
Then give us forty screams
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?
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?
I know just what you're feeling
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
'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?
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?
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
