Collide

I've seen the writing on the wall

I've seen the best of things

I've seen my kingdoms rise and fall

I've seen the wound in everyone I know

All of these things and still I hold on tight

To the altars I keep building to the sky

To the coffers and my failed attempts to fly

I've held the promises of man

Drank from that water deep

And I've held beauty in my hands

I kissed her mouth and watched her turn to sand

All of these things and still I hold on tight

To the altars I keep building to the sky

To the coffers and my failed attempts to fly away

How long, how long

Must we hold on, hold on

Before grace and gravity collide

Hold on tight

To the altars I keep building to the sky

To the coffers and my failed attempts to fly away

And still you say, you're mine, you're mine
