lyrics

In your head, in your head, has the river been severed from ocean.
I wouldn’t know, whats carried out on your tide.

In your head, can you hear, when i sing in your ear, of devotion.
I'm a slave to the song, it’s the only thin stirring inside

when you fell, all of heaven, fell from me.
We live on, to embrace this alchemy.

Can you see, when you dream, are there pictures of me in your tower.
Do i live on, a vision that waits by your side.

And the life that you knew, is it haunting your waking hours.
Im a ghost, your a ghost, so we’re always and never alone, yea.

when you fell, all of heaven, fell from me.
We live on, to embrace this alchemy.
so I live on, to keep your good company.
all but love, all but love is lost to me. (Yea)

Love is the drug and I love you too much to get sober oh,
iron lung, I didn’t know, how to love, letting go, of her.
And I love that I love, but its never enough,
to get over you,
In your iron lung, iron lung, your my iron lover.
I didn’t know, know I can never atone,
cause it cost too much
I am alone, I am alone, though our love isn’t over.
And so I take flight, running for cold of your touch, to get closer oh,
iron lung, iron lung, your my iron lover.
