Illuminate

No more words, no more lies

I'll give it to you straight and apologise

I know your name and you are learning mine

I could help you breathe again, lift the load

Heavy with the weight of a fortune told

The stain of a world will keep you paralysed

Kiss the kids and tuck 'em in tight

We're gonna slip out in that early morning light

Tell our mother we were never kin, never were allies

Just overdue

Weep with me for the dreams that tore

You know I hold them close in a mind of thorns

A single seed of determination in this storm

We've never put a foot wrong so far, love

Pull the knife from the page and step in the blood

I wanna see every mark we leave upon this path

Oh, crack the shell of a long dead life

We're gonna slip out in that early morning light

Even if I crawl as I lay under the weight of it all

You're not gonna leave my world this way

You're not gonna leave my world this way

Waiting for the things that you may never say

You're not gonna leave my world this way

You can never rule if you never break

Waiting for the fractures to illuminate

You're not gonna leave my world this way

You're not gonna leave my world this way

Waiting for the things that you may never say

You're not gonna leave my world this way

You can never rule if you never break

Even if I crawl as I lay under the weight of it all
