Skies rage in ruined violence
To my heart you held the key
When you broke it open
You fell in love with me
And now the night is broken
With blood upon the clouds
I've only ten more days
To run away
Ticktockticktock
To escape forever
Ropes lit afire
Burning crost your rump
You've pulled and strained for miles; yet you never give up
You left my body hanging
Strung by its shattered hand
Outstretched in final honour
Never forget to make a stand.
To my heart you held the key
When you broke it open
You fell in love with me
And now the night is broken
With blood upon the clouds
I've only ten more days
To run away
Ticktockticktock
To escape forever
Ropes lit afire
Burning crost your rump
You've pulled and strained for miles; yet you never give up
You left my body hanging
Strung by its shattered hand
Outstretched in final honour
Never forget to make a stand.
