lyrics

I don't know if I wanna be more than this
'cause I know it's complicated as is
we can sit here and say what we need
but it doesn't change a thing
you can be alone or you can be with me
but it doesn't change a thing

I don't know if I'm gonna be more than this
'cause I know I can't tell what it's gonna be then
I can kneel down and say what I need
but it doesn't change a thing
you can take the throne or you can try to be free
but it doesn't change a thing

you can grab onto branches to pull you free
but you'll never know the truth of what could be
and I saw you throw your crown into the sea
then comes dissolution: dissolving me

I can keep trying to be someone new
but I know there's nothing left I can do
I can keep the faith and do what I can
but it doesn't change a thing
I can wear the armour and reach for your hand
but it doesn't change a thing

you can grab onto branches to pull you free
but you'll never know the truth of what could be
and I saw you throw your crown into the sea
then comes dissolution: dissolving me

ten thousand swords can't take me back
I can't fill the void of what you lack
I can't kill the dragon that you sent
I can't keep my feet from sinking in
it's the hall of love
it's the hell of us

you can grab onto branches to pull you free
but you'll never know the truth of what could be
and I saw you throw your crown into the sea
then comes dissolution: dissolving me

ten thousand swords can't take me back
I can't fill the void of what you lack
I can't kill the dragon that you sent
I can't keep my feet from sinking in
it's the hall of love
