Come in close to me and bring me joy Lift me higher, much higher and higher than light allows I wanted to be everything, everything for you I wanted you, I needed you, I thought that you did too You built me beauty and took it all away And I can't face another day I'll die for you today Tempt me, sweet tempest - and shower me with stars I want to be as beautiful as you Take me to the summit and show me Show me all that I could ever have You brought me everything, I ever thought I wanted And now you take it all away You gave me love and then you killed me blindly I think I'll die for you today, I can't persue another way I'll die for you today Like a garden growin' in flames A forest filled with fear of the wind Like the moon so beautiful from afar But shattered on the surface, full of scars A sea with no more fish, planets without air Whales with no more song I know I'm gonna die with them today I'll die for you today
