Death

I love the feeling when we lift off

Watching the world so small below

I love the dreaming when I think of

The safety in the clouds out my window

I wonder what keeps us so high up

Could there be a love beneath these wings

If we suddenly fall should I scream out

Or keep very quiet and cling to my mouth as I’m crying

So frightened of dying

Relax, yes, I’m trying

But fear's got a hold on me

Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

I love the quiet of the nighttime

When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea

I can feel my heart beating as I speed from

The sense of time catching up with me

The sky's set out like a pathway

But who decides which route we take

As people drift into a dreamworld

I close my eyes as my hands shake

And when I see a new day

Who’s driving this anyway

I picture my own grave,

'cause fear's got a hold on me

Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down

I wonder when I’ll hit the ground

Will the earth beneath my body shake

And cast your sleeping hearts awake

Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies

Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes

I live on the right side, I sleep in the left

That’s why everything’s got to be love or death

Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
