RETURN TO YOU

Verse 1
When will we meet again, When will we feel again
Open our eyes to the beauty of us again
How will it feel to be drowning in you again?
Time can't erase but the spirit grows weak....

Verse 2
The miracle of you was permission to live again
My lips brushed the hem of the robes of a goddess
Where do you go again, living white porcelain?
Leaving me here with the grace of a corpse…

Bridge
Sacred Spaces that you haunt
I gave everything to keep you here
But my sacrifices were too dear
No burnt offering can hold you
When the supplicant is unclean

Into to Chorus
Release the birds
They'll return to you
Release the birds
I can read their signs
Release the birds
They'll return to you
No haruspex can tell me the truth

Main Chorus
Nothing can hold us together now
The glue is gone
Nothing can keep us apart
As my thoughts return to you

Nothing can hold....

Verse 3
What does it mean for us to wake up in agony
Our pens full of blood as we write our own tragedy
Why do we treat hellishly a love once so heavenly
The brutalized icon will stand to remind us....

Verse 3
When we were young and we danced through the ritual
Laughing at sacrilege, we'd sing at our funeral
Why can't we return to the time of innocence
When in burning temples our devotion lasted hours

Main Chorus
Nothing can hold us together now
The glue is gone
Nothing can keep us apart
As my thoughts return to you

Nothing can hold
Nothing can hold
Nothing can hold us together now
Nothing can hold
Nothing can hold
Nothing can hold us together now

Release the birds
Release the birds
Release the birds
And they'll return to you
Release the birds
Release the birds
No haruspex can tell me the truth

Nothing can hold us together now
The glue is gone
Nothing can keep us apart
As my thoughts return to you
