[Verse 1] I patrol the dead lane boots on broken glass In the vault of old stars I found you at last Your pod was still breathing blue frost on your skin Two hundred winters and you’re sleeping within [Pre-Chorus] I read your faded file I traced your name in light I should wake you now I should not give you sight [Chorus] Stay in the pod of glass (hold on, stay asleep) Stay in the pod of glass (too much for you to keep) I love you in the dark I love you from afar Stay in the pod of glass my falling, frozen star [Verse 2] I watched your lashes cast shadows on the seal My hands know war but you make me feel There’s smoke in the distance there’s ash in the rain If I open that door you’ll learn all the pain [Pre-Chorus] The towers all went black the rivers turned to rust I can’t let you wake to a world that left us [Chorus] Stay in the pod of glass (hold on, stay asleep) Stay in the pod of glass (too much for you to keep) I love you in the dark I love you from afar Stay in the pod of glass my falling, frozen star [Bridge] If I press the release and kiss your ice-cold name Will you curse my mercy or call me by the same? So I stand in the blue with the whole dead sky And I love you best when I let you lie [Chorus] Stay in the pod of glass (hold on, stay asleep) Stay in the pod of glass (too much for you to keep) I love you in the dark I love you from afar Stay in the pod of glass my falling, frozen star
