lyrics

well i wish i was the one who saw the ground
when it was turning inside out
and i could tell you i was there

that i could be the one who came around
and turned your whole world upside down
and threw your plans into the air

tectonic plates would then divide
and split apart a thousand miles wide
and you would tell me you were scared

well i will haunt your dreams
like a watchdog in the night
i'll lay beside you as you sleep

i'll be your skeleton
and i will seep into your bones
like a disease through broken skin

well i wish i was the one who saw the sky
before it lost its brilliant shine
then i could tell the night from day

but the stars they are just lights that cut their way
into the corners of the night
and they will soon begin to fade

we saw the towers tumble down
and listened to that cold and distant sound
i watched their bodies fall through space

well i will haunt your dreams
like a watchdog in the night
i'll lay beside you as you sleep

i'll be your skeleton
and i will seep into your bones
like a disease through broken skin

like a thousand shining lights
i would burn my way into your mind

like an island in the cold and lonely sea
i know you would find a home with me

well we're living in a hole
that someone dug for us a million years ago

we dig it further every day.
