Marcus Jidell - Jinn lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive During weary times Seemed so pure when wearing white Within such a frail and immaculate mind With those innocent eyes We were young and full of life You asked me to swear in a mirror - confide Underneath the stars I should care to let you fly A chance to retrieve what was left behind To experience life [Chorus] Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you dependent Leaving you an open vein [Post-Chorus] Can't make you wait no more Can't make you wait nowhere It's hard to breathe Everything's blackening [Verse 2] I am made of flesh and bone Blood, sweat, and tears are all you ever will find Underneath the skin You're affair, that I'm a stone Falling from the depths into the grave Where I'm destined to dwell [Bridge] And we reach for mystery At the edge of reason Every path we take We're wandering in blindness In the end, nothing is Lonelier or so honorable While we drown in doubt We're drifting like strangers... [Chorus] Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you dependent Leaving me with open veins [Outro] Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive With those innocent eyes [Instrumental]
