Sleeping At Last - Porcelain lyrics
[Sleeping At Last - Porcelain lyrics]
The door broke when you slammed it shut
And the cracks kept reaching
Long after you left through the floorboards
Branching towards the hall
Like vines that never rest
Climbing like fire through the walls
A single spark that claims the whole forest -
I know, i know it's all for the best
But honestly, i would rather be
Safe from a distance than here
When i fell to my knees
To sew the damage shut i couldn't believe
A bright, staggering light
Came flooding into me from out of the seams
So i reached deeper in
And pulled my whole world wide open
And for each broken mile, a billion
Miracles happen at once
In everything in everything
But i'm safe from a distance, right here
Everything i love was made of porcelain
Ready to break
But the bright, staggering light
It anxiously wait's inside
Like nesting dolls, the secret hides
And like every birth it was a necessary pain
I know, i know
It's all worth the wait, worth the weight
And the cracks kept reaching
Long after you left through the floorboards
Branching towards the hall
Like vines that never rest
Climbing like fire through the walls
A single spark that claims the whole forest -
I know, i know it's all for the best
But honestly, i would rather be
Safe from a distance than here
When i fell to my knees
To sew the damage shut i couldn't believe
A bright, staggering light
Came flooding into me from out of the seams
So i reached deeper in
And pulled my whole world wide open
And for each broken mile, a billion
Miracles happen at once
In everything in everything
But i'm safe from a distance, right here
Everything i love was made of porcelain
Ready to break
But the bright, staggering light
It anxiously wait's inside
Like nesting dolls, the secret hides
And like every birth it was a necessary pain
I know, i know
It's all worth the wait, worth the weight
