The Speed Of Sound In Seawater - To Kelly Lee Lyrics Artist: The Speed Of Sound In Seawater Album: First Contact Please don't leave Believe in me I would not lie among the artifacts Within the sacristy
I know they’re sacred I know we stand in hallowed halls I would not speak with such conviction If I did not fear for us all
