Various Storms & Saints

Lyrics

And the air was full
 Of various storms and saints
 Parading in the streets
 As the banks began to break
 And I'm in the throes of it
 Somewhere in the belly of the beast
 But you took your toll on me
 So I gave myself over willingly
 Oh, you got a hold on me
 I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
 I am teaching myself how to be free
 ♪
 The monument of a memory
 You tear it down in your head
 Don't make the mountain your enemy
 Get out, get up there instead
 You saw the stars out in front of you
 Too tempting not to touch
 But even though it shocked you
 Something's electric in your blood
 Can people just untie themselves
 Uncurling like flowers
 If you could just forgive yourself
 But still you stumble, your feet give way
 Outside the world seems a violent place
 But you had to have him, and so you did
 Some things you let go in order to live
 While all around you, the buildings sway
 You sing it out loud, "Who made us this way?"
 I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
 Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
 Hold on to your heart, don't give it away
 You'll find a rooftop to sing from
 Or find a hallway to dance
 You don't need no edge to cling from
 Your heart is there, it's in your hands
 I know it seems like forever
 I know it seems like an age
 But one day this will be over
 I swear it's not so far away
 Can people just untie themselves
 Uncurling like flowers
 If you could just forgive yourself
 But still you stumble, your feet give way
 Outside the world seems a violent place
 But you had to have him, and so you did
 Some things you let go in order to live
 While all around you the buildings sway
 You sing it out loud, "Who made us this way?"
 I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
 Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
 Hold on to your heart
