Holy Holy - History lyrics

All I want is to hold a little piece Of HISTORY between my teeth It's cold and hard like mother's grief I'd risk it all just to feel my burning skin The water's cool and closing in The dark pulls black and let it in And the crawling tongue of fear Exactly at your ear At night! And the only risk you take Is that all of your mistakes survive All the time, as I've tried to understand I realized what I believe has moved again And what are we, is not bones and blood and tears We're memories in perfect fruits of who we've been And the crawling tongue of fear That's softly at your ear At night! And the only risk you take Is that all of your mistakes survive All I want is to hold a little piece Of HISTORY between my teeth It's cold and hard like mother's grief You know I'd risk it all just to feel my burning skin The water's cool and closing in The dark pulls black and let it in And what are we, is not bones and blood and tears We're memories in perfect fruits of who we've been And we could try, and we could crawl And we could die, and we will crawl
