lyrics

Dissolve

Composed by Allison Crowe

Outside the day is waking
In my body the earth is quaking
But I sit so still and silent
You can barely hear me shake

And icy hands hold on
with a death grip to my conscience
I could shatter it again
But the base will never break

And at the end of the light
I will call to you
Yes, at the start of the night
I will picture you, too
And I will see the dark dissolve to nothing
And I will breathe again

I sit with open eyes
And I lay with wandering mind
And there are shadows on the wall
And their lies are never kind

But I could never sleep right
The day is my rest for wakeful nights
I shiver and release
and I feel my fears decease

And at the end of the light
I will call to you
Yes, at the start of the night
I will picture you, too
And I will see the dark dissolve to nothing
And I will breathe again

And it shouldn't hurt so bad
to open up my eyes
Sometimes it just does,
don't know why,
but it just does.

And at the end of the light
I will call to you
Yes, at the start of the night
I will picture you, too
And I will see the dark dissolve to nothing
And I will breathe again

And at the end of the light
I will call to you
Yes, at the start of the night
I will picture you, too
And I will see the dark dissolve to nothing
And I will breathe again
And I will breathe again

And I will breathe again
