lyrics

I hardly know you but I wish you well
Your smile firm set, betrayed
By the burden you've placed 'round your neck
You told me your words were a vessel

Do you think they're worth believing?

You dance like there's not another soul in the room
You breeze through the streets making faces at panes
Yet they always seem distant
You told me the ocean's in seashells

Do you think that's worth believing?

Do you believe it yourself?

So take every feather you've put in your cap
With arms outstretched
Declare that you finished looking back
You'll still have you monuments if you ignite
And if you impact, well
At least you'll have tried

To risk all you have, and swallow the sun
To risk all you've got, to swallow the sun
Risk all you've got, to swallow the sun

Do you believe it yourself?
Do you believe in yourself?
