1. Baobab
It swelled to the surface
And broke the skin
A growing storm
Uncontrollable
You let it die
In your arms
Our tears couldn't carry you
Our tears couldn't carry you
We watched you fall
Into the fire alone
We watched you fall
Into the fire alone
Alone
Our hearts broke without you
Our hearts would have followed you
Our hearts broke without you
Our hearts would have followed you
Our hearts broke without you
Our hearts would have followed you
Our hearts
2. No One Wished to Settle Here
Sinking deeper
Drifting further
Fading away
Sinking deeper
Drifting further
Fading away
Rise and fall
Collapse and crawl
To carry the weight
To carry the weight of
Everything
Rise and fall
Collapse and crawl
To carry the weight
To carry the weight of
Everything
Our heads hang low
So low
No one wished to settle here
Our heads hang low
So low
No one wished to settle here
Our heads hang low
So low
No one wished to settle here
Settle here
3. Carry On
Our hands withstood
The aches of time
To find the will to
Carry on
Stretch my skin
Across the sky
Let the light
Bleed through me
4. Harboring an Apparition
What was once held so close
Has decayed
All hope turned to dust
What was once held so close
Has decayed
All hope turned to dust
What was once held so close
Has decayed
What was once held so close
Has decayed
With tired eyes
We've wept in defeat
Each step forward was lost
Then you were gone
We did nothing
We did nothing
We did nothing
We did nothing
We did nothing
To deserve this
5. At Arms Length
I cannot save you
There is nothing left inside of me
I cannot save you
There is nothing left inside of me
I will was away into the sea
Drowning my lungs with your memory
Turn away from me
I will fail you
Turn away from me
I will fail you
I cannot save you
There is nothing left inside of me
6. Wake Me Up When It's Over
This truth has buried its fire
Deep into your kiss
Burning clean everything
Burning clean everything
My honour holds the ashes
As the light exposes
The regret in my eyes
The regret in my eyes
The sky embraces the flames
A phoenix reborn
Let it hold your heart
I will never leave your side
Let it hold your heart
I will never leave your side
Your side
