Higher, high Like we understood Made with adrenaline Seeping out through the skin Like only lovers could Here's where we begin Time is the medicine To heal these needs That only raise our voices Higher, higher Tonight we raise the dead Tonight we bury this in fire, fire Under the shape of years And the weight that brought us here But we can separate To form these hearts in stone Rewrite this pain we own Caught here in the wake Nothing but genuine Built on a skeleton Of fractured parts That only raise our voices Higher, higher Tonight we raise the dead Tonight we bury this in fire, fire Under the shape of years And the weight that brought us here Better believe the sea of changes And put these battered bones to rest Nothing invisible or nameless Leave no reason to confess (confess) Higher, higher Tonight we raise the dead Tonight we bury this in fire, fire Under the shape of years And the weight Higher, higher (higher, higher, higher) Tonight we raise the dead Tonight we bury this in fire, fire Under the shape of years And the weight that brought us here Better believe the sea of changes And put these battered bones to rest (rest) Nothing invisible or nameless Leave no reason to confess (And raise our voices) Higher, higher
