Flee Lyrics - Singles - These Brittle Bones

I ran down south, out of the light, I held my breath, I held it tight. 

I looked to the sun, I looked for a home, I shivered in pain, I was alone 

But then I felt my lungs stop breathing, I fell to the ground in heaving, 

And then I felt my thoughts start ceasing, they fell away in pieces. 

If I could leave to better place, the lanterns would follow and go astray, 

If I could leave and pick up the pace, the lights would turn and drift away, 

If I could leave the night behind, you say its cruel, I say divine, 

If I could leave to the darkest woods, youve told me twice, Ive understood. 

I pushed myself in, into the deep; I held my breath, my breath to keep, 

I took to the sea, the sea so dear; my ears would burst before I drowned in fear 

But then I felt my lungs stop breathing, I fell to the ground in heaving, 

And then I felt my thoughts start ceasing, they fell away in pieces. 

If I could leave to better place, the lanterns would follow and go astray, 

If I could leave and pick up the pace, the lights would turn and drift away, 

If I could leave the night behind, you say its cruel, I say divine, 

If I could leave to the darkest woods, youve told me twice, Ive understood. 

And when your world, comes crashing down, I hope you know, I wont be around 

And when your world, will tear apart, I hope you know, Ill be in the dark, 

And when your world, falls to the edge, I hope you know, youll be on the ledge, 

And when your world, comes crashing down, I hope you know, I wont be around 

If I could leave to better place, the lanterns would follow and go astray, 

If I could leave and pick up the pace, the lights would turn and drift away, 

If I could leave the night behind, you say its cruel, I say divine, 

If I could leave to the darkest woods, youve told me twice, Ive understood.
