I put the breath in your lungs And I'll take it back if I want. I'll pour the water the floods out your trachea. I put the words on your tongue. With one word I say, I'll take them away. I'll cut the wires that run through your cranium. Do you believe wonderful things Are waiting in the shadows to start happening? I would believe what you believe If you'd only stop believing in me. I put the fire in the sky And I'll make it darker than you'd ever realise. If you think you've seen everything, you should open your eyes. I would believe what you believe If we could agree on a single thing. I would believe what you believe If you'd only stop believing. If it's such a miracle then I'm starting over again. 1 I need new bones, I need them. 2 If it's such a miracle then I'm starting over again.
I'll prove you wrong, I'll prove it. I put the breath in your lungs And I'll take it back if I want. I'll pour the water the floods out your trachea. I put the words on your tongue With one word I say, I'll take them away. I'll cut the wires that run through your cranium. 3 The record doesn't lie So what friend could the record be? 4 We will all be forgotten at the final beat When our synapses finally sleep.
