Forty Screams

I hope you are a dreamer Dust on your knees Give us one or two whispers Then give us forty screams Is this the future Standing over me? Will it grow, will it burst, with sour blooms What can it rise from such a seed? I can't bear another day like this I can't bear another day like this If I can't bear to see the dark, can you? I know just what you're feeling So, throw a rope around the mourning Tie it tightly to your chest And while you pull for something bright and something golden Split infinity and shoot for your breast 'Cause I had wanted a better world for you I had wanted a better world for you If I can't bear to see it through, will you? I had wanted a better world for you I had wanted a better world for you If I can't bear to see it through, can you? A young ghost in an old body Caught inbetween the throat and the lungs Speak love, speak love, speak Old ghost in a young body Caught inbetween the throat and the tongue Scream love, scream love, scream love
