"Sacrifice" lyrics

"Sacrifice"

I have never seen a ghost so alive as you
We're smudged gray to waste away
But your the last one dreaming

Of a brighter world, a liar's world
One that can't exist
But I'll go to lengths to make your end
The one that you have missed
And I'll do it all to be in your midst

I'll be your torch, I'll burn up
To keep you from freezing
I'll hibernate my ugly soul
To keep you from seeing
Seeing
Seeing

You tread on soft grass while I
Brave the bite of glass
You're strong and you are bright
I fear you will not last

But here we are at the waterfall
And the only way is down
I tear apart another's dreams
To lift you from the ground
And I'll do it all
But what does it bring?

I'll be your torch, I'll burn up
To keep you from freezing
I'll hibernate my ugly soul
To keep you from seeing
Seeing
Seeing

Now I have done all you asked
Yet you let go of my hand
You're moving on to a new home
Leaving me alone
Oh, I feel emptied of a brighter light
The one that you stole
My breath was timed with your heart
In tempo with your soul
And I wonder would I do it all again

To be your torch and burn up
To keep you from freezing
To swallow down my own soul
And hide all the bleeding
I'll take the fire and turn away
From the lies you've been believing
And I'll be better off as another ghost
Then turn into a demon
