Safehaven

Every memory recalled is an origin that we've altered Broken promises to another man's daughter Endless walk down a dead road as our last breaths begin to falter We lend our weight to the backs of our broken fathers Featherweight boy in his arms Every night he weeps Constantly drifting in and out of sleep Palm against transparent skin Fingers tracing ribs Reassurance that the heart was still beating At the helm of death every day like clockwork Restless nights with trembling hands against transparent skin But they carry on Because survival is not a dead end Whether or not the world is withered away (withered away) We are each other's world entirely Whether or not the world is withered away (withered away) We are ever, we are evermore Lost ghosts around every corner On every charred sidewalk Still trudging through the ash of an endless walk With bodies cold and weightless Resilient of death in life Resilient of death in death They walk on Dreaming of a safe haven at the end of the road An unstable safety The only kind we've ever known Oh, we walk along Dreaming of a safe haven Oh, we walk along At the end of the road Our legs will never fail We'll carry on And I swear to you Whether or not the world is withered away (withered away) We are each other's world entirely Whether or not the world is withered away (withered away) We are ever, we are evermore Oh, we walk along Dreaming of a safe haven Oh, we walk along At the end of the road Resilient of death because life is not a dead end Whether or not the world is withered away (withered away) We are each other's world entirely Whether or not the world is withered away (withered away) We are ever, we are evermore Survival is not a dead end, we are evermore Survival is not a dead end, we are evermore --- Safehaven - Erra
