Prisons to Purify
Silence holds our tongues
We’re fighting for a love that can’t be won
Stuck frozen in the white hot sun
Our echoes lurking under run
Paralyzed with you, I found myself
The one that can’t be two
We’ve sunk into a deeper blue
I’ve come back down, so cut me loose
How could I satisfy all the love in your eyes?
I see you letting go
Every time that I try, all the love pushed aside
Oh, how it hurts to know!
Time wasted chasing this love I’m giving you
Can’t shake it, break it, not getting through to you
And I’m faded graceless
I should have seen it before
I could not give anymore
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to lose
I’m done with loving you
I should have known from the start
I could not give you my heart
Only when I hoped to find prisons to purify
[Marika Hackman:]
There’s no light to breathe
You’ve stolen all the air right out of me
I’m hurting, wrecked and washed to sea
I suffocate the underneath
How could I satisfy all the love in your eyes?
I see you letting go
Every time that I try, all the love pushed aside
Oh, how it hurts to know!
Time wasted chasing this love I’m giving you
Can’t shake it, break it, not getting through to you
And I’m faded graceless
I should have seen it before
I could not give anymore
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to lose
I’m done with loving you
I should have known from the start
I could not give you my heart
Only when I hoped to find prisons to purify
