"I would rather die living, than live dying"

sacrifice

If you want my life
If you still want me here
I would stay for you
Until the days go by

My hopes they dare hide
My sun my moon your eyes
I might burn in this death
only to take your debts

With one smile I walk
In your heartwinds I'll fall
Give myself to be your light
even as your sun darkens mine

In the dark
I'll be light
for your life
In the blur of lines
I'll catch the tears
from your eyes

I'll swim to your only place
Pray for skies soft in this hurt
To be a wish a waterfall a shoulder
To be lyrics to melodies in your words

If you take my sight I'll fall
just to be a harbour in your home
I would crawl to you out there
wander the desert blind on my own

Your eyes may blind my eyes
nothing could take my soul
You may take out my heart
my sacrifice to see you whole

In the dark
I'll be light
for your life
In the blur of lines
I'll catch the tears
from your eyes
