"For The Beauty" lyrics

"For The Beauty"

For the beauty, give me some to ease
For it's the beauty that's got its claws in me

There is an ache in our steps as we walk down the streets
But it's the beauty that stops me and brings me to my knees

For the pain, we live with our pain
Each day we manage our pain

In the hum of its song there is comfort and calm
But it's the beauty that sears me and tears at my heart

You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air
Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again

Just to feel, to love, to live, to try
To feel, to live, to love, to try

For the beauty, give me something, please
For it's the beauty that's killing me
I can't trust it anymore or rely on its truth
It pulls me right to it and makes a show of its abuse

You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air
Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again

You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air
Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again

Just to feel, to love, to live, to try
To feel, to live, to love, to try
To feel, to love, to live, to try
To feel, to live, to love, to fly
