Down the hall, there's a girl
With her face between her hands.
Salty tears reach her lips
And fall away without a sound.
Down the street there's a boy
Crying gently in the sand -
This time around he stays down.
You're jaded, wasted, naked - checkmated
You're broken, exposed and unwoven, ripped open.
You're sinking, screaming 'help me... i'm bleeding'
But you're way down, below ground
Where there's no sound - Lights out.
I'm a candle. I'm a lit flame. I'm a floodlight. I'm a band aid.
I'm a gas mask. I'm a life raft. I'm a ladder.
I'm an aircraft.
When you can't speak I'm a war cry.
When you can't sleep I'm a lullaby.
When your wounds bleed, when you can't breathe, when there's no pulse,
I'm a heartbeat.
I am blue skies. I am sunrise. I am freedom.
I am new life. I am healing.
Rescue is here.
She heaves a sigh, dries her eyes
Goes outside and starts to run.
Passers by wonder why
But she won't stop for anyone.
She runs and runs but it's no use -
There is no running from the truth -
The tears come back and she goes down.
You're jaded, wasted, naked - checkmated
You're broken, exposed and unwoven, ripped open.
You're sinking, screaming 'help me... i'm bleeding'
But you're way down, below ground
Where there's no sound - Lights out.
I'm a candle. I'm a lit flame. I'm a floodlight. I'm a band aid.
I'm a gas mask. I'm a life raft. I'm a ladder.
I'm an aircraft.
When you can't speak I'm a war cry.
When you can't sleep I'm a lullaby.
When your wounds bleed, when you can't breathe, when there's no pulse,
I'm a heartbeat.
I am blue skies. I am sunrise. I am freedom.
I am new life...
Let me in, let me in, let me fix you.
Let me do what I do from within you
Let me take you apart, make you brand new, (yeah)...
You go out like a light when it hits you
But you're somebody else when you come to.
Nothing's ever the same when I come through, (no)...
When you can't speak I'm a war cry.
When you can't sleep I'm a lullaby.
When your wounds bleed, when you can't breathe, when there's no pulse...
I'm a heartbeat.
I am blue skies. I am sunrise. I am freedom.
I am new life. I am healing.
Rescue is here.
