lyrics

Hold me,
Close tonight,
'Cause in the morning,
I'm reaching for the heavens.

As I cry out,
"I'm falling, I'm falling!"
I just wanted to reach God,
Now I'm falling.

Crafted from pride and vanity,
My wings carried me through the skies,
I'd boast to say,
"No man has reached the heights!"

But something is wrong!

But something is wrong!
Something I didn't plan on!

Hold me,
Close tonight,
'Cause in the morning,
I'm reaching for the heavens.

As I cry out,
"I'm falling, I'm falling!"
I just wanted to reach God,
Now I'm falling.

As I grasp the air slipping through my fingers,
It seems I can't save myself,
I don't know what I expected,
Taking off through the air with wings mad of wax!

My breath leaves as I strike the water,
And sink like a stone!

Hold me,
Close tonight,
'Cause in the morning,
I'm reaching for the heavens.

As I cry out,
"I'm falling, I'm falling!"
I just wanted to reach God,
Now I'm falling.

I've made my goal as I ask for forgiveness,
It seems I've finally reached God!
(I can see his face!)
It wasn't through my works as a man,
But through the grace of my God.
(It was through his grace!)

I'm in the heavenly flock,
He is my shepherd,
I am his sheep!
Lead me to the pastures,
To lay in peace, forever.
(I will lay in peace)
Forever!

Hold me,
Close tonight,
'Cause in the morning,
I'm reaching for the heavens.

As I cry out,
"I'm falling, I'm falling!"
I just wanted to reach God,
Now I'm falling.

I'm in the heavenly flock,
He is my shepherd,
I am his sheep!
Lead me to the pastures,
To lay in peace, forever.
(I will lay in peace)
Forever!

A dulcet combination of early(ish) blackgaze and melodic angst-driven emo with some rays of light constantly peeking and disappearing. Like joy and sorrow, like sun and cold cloudless night. Stylish compositions. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
