Thriving Ivory

White lines that never fade
Burn deep with everyday
And I need to know
You live here in a photograph
No sound and no regrets
And I need to know
Heart-stained but never weak
You lay down alone but you don't mind
Questions that never breathe
Your face on a wall that I can't shake
I'm walking on air, close to you
Through a long hallway with a broken light
And I, I need to know
If you're still alive
You hold me like a bag of bones
Wrapped up and underground
Pull me out so I can feel
Make me believe, that one more night's
Not a minute too long when a moment's all I need
I'm walking on air, close to you
Through a long hallway with a broken light
And I, I need to know
If you're still alive
You'll marry the night
Dance with the pain but you don't mind
See the city burn tonight, hearts up in flames
Would you carry me away?
I'm walking on air, close to you
Through a long hallway with a broken light
And I, I need to know
If you're still alive
