Forty Screams

I hope you are a dreamer

Dust on your knees

Gives us one or two whispers

Then give us forty screams

Is this the future

Standing over me?

Will it grow, will it burst

When the flower blooms

Or can it rise from such a seed?

I can't bear another day like this

I can't bear another day like this

If I can't bear to see the dark, can you?

I know just what you're feeling

So, throw a rope around the morning

Tie it tightly to your chest

And while you pull for something bright

And something golden

Split infinity into forty breaths

'Cause I had wanted a better world for you

I had wanted a better world for you

If I can't bear to see it through, will you?

I had wanted a better world for you

I had wanted a better world for you

If I can't bear to see it through, can you?

A young ghost in an old body

Caught inbetween the throat and the lungs

Speak love, speak love, speak

Old ghost in a young body

Caught inbetween the throat and the tongue

Scream love, scream love, scream love
