These Brittle Bones Flee lyrics

I ran down south, out of the light, I held my breath, I held it tight.
I looked to the sun, I looked for a home, I shivered in pain, I was alone
But then I felt my lungs stop breathing, I fell to the ground in heaving,
And then I felt my thoughts start ceasing, they fell away in pieces.

If I could leave to better place, the lanterns would follow and go astray,
If I could leave and pick up the pace, the lights would turn and drift away,
If I could leave the night behind, you say it's cruel, I say divine,
If I could leave to the darkest woods, you've told me twice, I've understood.

I pushed myself in, into the deep; I held my breath, my breath to keep,
I took to the sea, the sea so dear; my ears would burst before I drowned in fear
But then I felt my lungs stop breathing, I fell to the ground in heaving,
And then I felt my thoughts start ceasing, they fell away in pieces.

If I could leave to better place, the lanterns would follow and go astray,

If I could leave and pick up the pace, the lights would turn and drift away,
If I could leave the night behind, you say it's cruel, I say divine,
If I could leave to the darkest woods, you've told me twice, I've understood.

And when your world, comes crashing down, I hope you know, I won't be around
And when your world, will tear apart, I hope you know, I'll be in the dark,
And when your world, falls to the edge, I hope you know, you'll be on the ledge,
And when your world, comes crashing down, I hope you know, I won't be around

If I could leave to better place, the lanterns would follow and go astray,
If I could leave and pick up the pace, the lights would turn and drift away,
If I could leave the night behind, you say it's cruel, I say divine,
If I could leave to the darkest woods, you've told me twice, I've understood.
