I saw you standing there alone
I wondered if you wanted what you owned
Your magic ladders in the sky
Tie you to the place where angels fight

Our madness envy and desire
Ring you with an unforgiving fire
You love them with a burning soul
By the time he sold the ashes they were cold

Fingers crying for you
Sleeping on your doorstep for the proof
We love ghosts we want to see through
The blood and bones that hide us from the truth

You circle the city from the sky
Watching children swallowing your lies
It breaks you but you will never fall
You've learned that love is greater than it all
