You only feel it when it´s lost Gettin´ through still has a cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers love Falling from you drop by drop What I had left here I just held it tight
So someone with your eyes might come in time To hold me like water Or Christ, hold me like a knife
We´re born at night So much of our lives Is just carvin´ through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are It´s who we are
You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else´s dream How can somethin´ be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems Darling, we sacrificed We gave our time to somethin´ undefined
This phantom life, it sharpens like an image But it sharpens like a knife
We´re born at night So much of our life Is just carvin´ through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are That´s who we are
