Cities of Asylum

They’ll drop us broken and bleeding
On the rocks and sand
Seems half the world is fleeing
And word gets around
What caused your heart to turn? What made you want to burn
It all down with a lie?
I know you’ll feel the shout gagging your mouth with sound
This at least we must try
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all
One must know when to take shelter, mother
And the time is now
One must know when to run for cover
And cheat death somehow
The patience of the knife surely won’t suffice
One lie burns all
As every inaccurate word is strewn of the surface
Brace for the fall
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
Hold me now, I am breaking
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all (Hold me, I’m breaking)
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all (Hold me, I’m breaking)
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all (Hold me, I’m breaking)
He who dares at all must dare it all
But now, hold me, I’m breaking
He who dares at all must dare all
