Far across the endless sky Is a soul with whom my diffidence lies Pining a lost sense of reality The brittle star is soothing me You, you say you want to be free Free from the yearning inside To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy So collapse and crumble This is not your destruction This is your birth Walking through this long valley I reach out to the sun It burns my fingertips Down to my palms so rough You hold out an amethyst And I feel the overwhelming love You, you say you want to be free Free from the yearning inside To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy So collapse and crumble This is not your destruction This is your birth Show me something real Something I can feel You, you say you want to be free Free from the yearning inside To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy So collapse and crumble This is not your destruction This is your birth
