ADAM track 1 - A Breath From The Breathless (Victor)

[Verse 1] I can strip a heartbeat of its mystery, name each muscle, every single line But if I cannot call her back to greet me, I'll stitch a soul from mine When I give Death a doorway, will it damn my name? I find I’m past the caring, so I carry on the same. [Pre Chorus] What if I touch the dark? What if the dark touches me? [Chorus] I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse from a heart of stone I'll beat the Reaper's game so Death will leave me alone I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse to wake the sleeping bones If God won't hear my cries, then I'll learn the truth alone [Verse 2] They label me as brilliant, but brilliance bites and burns Once your eyes have seen the death of life that never returns I chart the pulse and name each fragile, fleeting spark But in the wards where the candles die, I can't defeat the dark [Pre Chorus] What if I touch the dark? What if the dark touches me? [Chorus] I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse from a heart of stone I'll beat the Reaper's game so Death will leave me alone I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse to wake the sleeping bones If God won't hear my cries, then I'll learn the truth alone [Verse 3] The graveyard air is in my lungs, the lantern lights my way The fear inside is building, but I'm compelled to stay I've finally found a subject for my work beyond compare I count each bone precisely like beads before a prayer And ask the unforgiving night, "Who am I to dare?" [Pre Chorus] What if I touch the dark? What if the dark touches me? [Chorus] I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse from a heart of stone I'll beat the Reaper's game so Death will leave me alone I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse to wake the sleeping bones If God won't hear my cries, then I'll learn the truth alone Fear is going [Bridge] I have a theory of creation and though it fills my heart with dread I've set myself the righteous task of raising up the dead And now as I stand on the edge of what I can achieve I ask myself the question, what if I succeed? Dear God, What if I succeed? [Pre Chorus] What if I touch the dark? What if the dark touches me? [Chorus] I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse from a heart of stone I'll beat the Reaper's game so Death will leave me alone I'll steal a breath from the breathless, a pulse to wake the sleeping bones If God won't hear my cries, then I'll learn the truth alone The fear is going
