Lyrics

Stay

[Verse 1]

Crow

Eats putty from a window pane

Shards of glass

Don't break your fate

Go

Past your threshold of pain

All of our help

You waived away

[Verse 2]

Fell into the stars

Made of blades

They spun you out

Cut your face

[Chorus]

Lovers of God, be grateful

Love what we've got

Life's a struggle of love

Grit, pearl, oyster

Lovers of God, be grateful

Love what we've got

Life's a struggle to love

Grit, pearl, oyster

[Post-Chorus]

Stay

Stay

Stay

Stay

Stay

[Verse 3]

Don't go

Don't let this stain

Dictate tomorrow

Write your refrain

You supposed

That this place was fair

Equal in share

By people that cared

[Verse 4]

Darling

We're all made of matter

Our bodies will shatter

Unravel under gravity's weight

[Chorus]

Lovers of God, be grateful

Love what we've got

Life's a struggle of love

Grit, pearl, oyster

[Post-Chorus]

Stay

Stay

Stay

Stay

Stay
