I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor
I'm only here in body visiting
Yellow faces in the distance screams
The beauty is in what isn't said
I'm rising to my feet
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight chase this light with me
My just so, my last call
My life is yours in your gifted hands
Confetti rainfall in the quiet street
These things I've found are special now
The knot is in my reach
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight chase this light with me
A movie still, photograph
Through a martyr's eyes I can see
I've seen the best of love, the best of hate
The best reward is earned
And I've paid for every single word I ever said
Confetti rainfall in the quiet streets
The beauty is in what you make it
So get up on your feet
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight chase this light with me
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
