Various Storms & Saints
[Verse 1]And the air was fullOf various storms and saintsPraying in the streetAs the banks began to breakAnd I'm in the throes of itSomewhere in the belly of the beastBut you took your toll on meSo I gave myself over willinglyYou got a hold on meAnd I don't know how I don't just stand outside and screamI am teaching myself how to be free
[Verse 2]The monument of a memoryYou tear it down in your headDon't make the mountain your enemyGet out, get up there insteadYou saw the stars out in front of youToo tempting not to touchBut even though it shocked youSomething's electric in your blood
[Pre-Chorus]And people just untie themselvesUncurling lifelinesIf you could just forgive yourself
[Chorus]But still you stumble, feet give wayOutside the world seems a violent placeBut you had to have him, and so you didSome things you let go in order to liveWhile all around you, the buildings swayYou sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okayHold on to your heart, you'll keep it safeHold on to your heart, don't give it away
[Bridge]You'll find a rooftop to sing fromOr find a hallway to danceYou don't need no edge to cling fromYour heart is there, it's in your handsI know it seems like foreverI know it seems like an ageBut one day this will be overI swear it's not so far away
[Pre-Chorus]
But still you stumble, feet give wayOutside the world seems a violent placeBut you had to have him, and so you didSome things you let go in order to liveWhile all around you, the buildings swayYou sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okayHold on to your heart, you'll keep it safeHold on to your heart...
