1000 Graves
Lyrics:
[English]
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
♪ YOU COULD RUN A THOUSAND ROADS ♪
♪ AND NEVER END UP NOWHERE ♪
♪ PIERCE THROUGH YOUR HANDS A THOUSAND HOLES ♪
♪ AND NEVER KNOW THE CROSS YOU BEAR ♪
♪ MAYBE I WAS BORN INSIDE A SHADOW ♪
♪ I'M ALWAYS STARVING FOR THE LIGHT ♪
♪ THE ONLY ROADS I SEEM TO FOLLOW ♪
♪ ARE THE ONES LEADING TO THE NIGHT ♪
♪ YOU CAN DIG A THOUSAND GRAVES ♪
♪ YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BURY THAT GHOST ♪
♪ FLOATS UP FROM THE GROUND AND A CAUTION THAT ♪
♪ HANGS IN YOUR HAIR LIKE A JESUS STONE ♪
♪ CRASHING DOWN TOO FAR FROM HEAVEN ♪
♪ FELL TOO SHORT OF A MILLION THINGS ♪
♪ TRY TO PUT THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER ♪
♪ IT'S WHAT I GET, FLIGHT ON BROKEN WINGS ♪
♪♪♪
♪ SICK OF DYING IN THESE NIGHTS ♪
♪ I WANNA FEEL ALIVE IN THE WORLD ♪
♪ WANNA STRAIGHTEN OUT ALL MY CROOKED LINES ♪
♪ AND THEN I'M GONNA MARRY THAT GIRL ♪
♪ JUST LET ME LEAVE AND LOVE CAN SAVE YOU ♪
♪ WHEN IT COMES IN QUIET, IT RISES SLOW ♪
♪ TAKES THE DEPTHS OUT OF THE DARKNESS ♪
♪ SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FALL THAT FAR ALONE ♪
♪ SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FACE IT ON YOUR OWN ♪
♪♪♪
