River Song
Ally Rhodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's always an escape
If you find yourself surrounded
Don't you dare turn your back to faith
You're a child of the darkness
Born and bred to close your eyes
But you've learned to see with neither open
The concepts that were planted in your brain
And nourished by the water of your pain
The more you love, the more they feel afraid
You never really did believe in fate
You and I breathe constellations
And twist them in our lungs to stay alive
You've lain in silence on the ground
But from the dirt and tears you'll learn to rise
But from the dirt and tears you'll learn to rise
The concepts that were planted in your brain
And nourished by the water of your pain
The more you love, the more they feel afraid
You never really did believe in fate
You never really did believe in fate
