White Lies - Death Lyrics
I love the feeling when we lift offWatching the world so small belowI love the dreaming when I think ofThe safety in the clouds out my windowI wonder what keeps us so high upCould there be a love beneath these wingsIf we suddenly fall should I scream outOr keep very quiet and cling to my mouth as I'm cryingSo frightened of dyingRelax, yes, I'm tryingBut fear's got a hold on meYes, this fear's got a hold on meI love the quiet of the nighttimeWhen the sun is drowned in the deathly seaI can feel my heart beating as I speed fromThe sense of time catching up with meThe sky's set out like a pathwayBut who decides which route we takeAs people drift into a dreamworldI close my eyes as my hands shakeAnd when I see a new dayWho's driving this anywayI picture my own grave,'cause fear's got a hold on meYes, this fear's got a hold on meFloating neither up or downI wonder when I'll hit the groundWill the earth beneath my body shakeAnd cast your sleeping hearts awakeCould it tremble stars from moonlit skiesCould it drag a tear from your cold eyesI live on the right side, I sleep in the leftThat's why everything's got to be love or deathYes, this fear's got a hold on me
