To make thee mine
I cast a net as wide as I am free
line by line
erase the schemes that I have drawn to thee
there's no fear anymore
this to learn
the truth soon's to be
there's no fear anymore
burn the bridge outside

If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live without you
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live without you
If I can live without you

I feel alone
walking home
all by myself
I've never chased
a brighter sun
than you'll become

I mistook you for a trust
invocations I must dust off
fresh bouquets to lay for thee first

Even though
you've seen the show
I've saved the best for last
a cannonball
shot stern to bow
to warn the crowd
I fall in love
from my gut
my arms untwine the switch
and in repose
a sullen rose
burns a bridge outside

If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live without you
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live without you

To make thee mine
I call upon the wisdom of my age
blow by blow
chase the bees of the death song's wings
there's no crime anymore
this to learn, the bridges burn outside

Stitches will all come undone
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live without you
What comes must all come out among
of us

If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live without you

I've never chased
a brighter sun
than you'll become
what comes before
the breakin' dawn
but a mornin' sigh
