I'm swallowed by the beauty that beauty made cry
I am lost to myself, no more places to hide
I find the key to a broken down door
I see the footprints of those here before
And I want to follow, to know where they've gone
But I hear the words of a more distant song
I'm climbing a staircase that creaks as I go
I'm prepared to fall through for to pay what I owe
Did we love not enough or not in the right way
Did we listen to voices that led us astray
Am I in the right place or should I keep on sailing
The pride that I killed, I can still hear it wailing
Did we love not enough or not in the right way
Did we listen to voices that led us astray
Am I in the right place or should I keep on sailing
The pride that I killed, I can still hear it wailing
I know those distant shores will wreck all that I know
And the beauty will pull me and crush me below
I think someday I'll find it and make others cry
It won't really be me, the real me will die
And the beauty I heard in that once distant song
Will swallow all in me that I know remains wrong
I think someday I'll find it and make others cry
It won't really be me, the real me will die
And the beauty I heard in that once distant song
Will swallow all in me that I know remains wrong
