Tall Ships
Will to Life
[Verse 1]
We're all dying together
And that nearing forever, it consumes me
There's no denying, that I'd be lying
If I said I was coping alright with it

[Chorus]
But I've got a chest that burns a fearless red
Everytime that you are near
You illuminate the darkness
That I find myself living within

[Verse 2]
'Cause I was wandering lost
Just trying to join the dots
Paint a picture of a life
That wouldn't fade nor rot
But there's no denying
You poured the light in
Brought purpose to my life

[Chorus]
'Cause I got a chest that burns a fearless red
Everytime that you are near
You illuminate the darkness
That I find myself living within

[Verse 3'
'Cause it hurts a whole lot to be on your own
In this world that is not built for being alone
And when I'm sunk again
Desperate for some meaning
And I can't dispell
The cavernous empty feeling inside

[Bridge]
You make everything alright
Ignite my will to life
So lay me down on my bed
Make an incision across my chest
Expose my inside and pull out the wet
Wood of previous failed attempts
Fill me up with moments blessed
Douse me down with incendiary words that you've said
Fuel to last me until I'm dead
Strike a match and watch the fire spread now

[Chorus]
I got a chest that burns a fearless red
Everytime that you are near
You illuminate the darkness
That I find myself living within
Now I got a chest that burns a fearless red
Everytime that you are near
You illuminate the darkness
That I find myself living within

[Outro]
I was hollow, full of dark before
Now I'm spilling light from my incandescent core
Burning brightly with a purpose and truth
Oh bringer of light, I owe it all to you
My will to life
