Something Beautiful and Bright

I will lead you on And the weight will break your bones I'm a town all red with rust Was I good or good enough? How many times, how many times will a son forget his mother? How many lives, how many lives can he live beside his lover? I was holding something beautiful and bright I was frightened but I did not hide Speaking holy words the veil fell from my eyes And I knew the hand I held so tight I will drink a lake If it means my family's safe Like a beast, ruthless and blind I became their sacrifice How many times, how many times did I tell you I'd recover? How many lives, how many lives did it take to find each other? I was holding something beautiful and bright I was frightened but I did not hide Speaking holy words the veil fell from my eyes And I knew the hand I held so tight It was you, always you It was you, always you I was holding something beautiful and bright I was frightened but I did not hide
