For you I would cross the glass oceans of green Full of sights best unseen, and the worst kinds of dreams For you I would pass through deserts of fire Full of burning and ire, waterless and futile For you I would brave the disgust of the mob Walk completely alone, disavow all of them For you I would give up mountains of gold And possessions untold, health of body and of soul
But don't ask me to do what the strongest of men Seeks to kill deep within, trembling sick to his bones Don't ask me to do what the strongest of warriors Backs up from the drawbridge and puts down her sword for Don't ask me to feel the moon on the door Or the fire on the shore as you bring my ship in
Because the truth is, there is no safe harbor Because the truth is, there is no safe harbor anymore
The first time I saw you, I felt the knives set in The first time I saw you, I felt my life cave in
A perfect mirror tells no lies That's why I shattered you The truest mirror in my life
A broken mirror cannot tell the truth That's why I shattered you I'll pick up shards for all my life
