Of Roots and Wings Lyrics

hold onto me with everythig you've got
because we're going down in flames
... and there's nothing we can do to stop the fall
screaming for our lives wishing the sky was our domain
presenting calm facades yet paralyzed by fear
that no one will sift through our remains
so we pray to gods that the earth will go away
close our eyes and hope that no one will betray or
reveal these broken hearts inside of you and me

all I want is to survive
the call of the grave keeps me alive
fuel and fire
til my last breath...

as I'm incinerated at the end I'll still be
longing for your lips upon my skin
these intoxications have helped to fill the void
but as your passions reassure, I wonder if they're in vain
for I could love you to unknown depths but
we'll be buried just the same
we pray to gods that the earth will go away
close our eyes and hope that there will come a day when we'll feel

I wish I could feel
these broken hearts inside of you and me

all I want is to survive
the call of the grave keeps me alive
fuel and fire
til my last breath
the die is cast
and these foundations will never last
I feel the burden of a name and face
and still I try to crumble to dust with grace
betrayed by the promises we've made
betrayed by the rules that we've obeyed
we are - holding onto anything
to be both roots and wings
and in each moment until we hit the ground
we'll be wishing for another way down...
