The Frame Ii: Keep Breathing

You were shot in the back for our sins,
Ones that we failed to ever commit.
They’d surely turn us in at the hospital
And it’d be off to the gallows we’d go.
So I will carry you forever if you just keep breathing.
Oh, don’t you know I will never let you go.
Oh, don’t you know I will never let you, never let you go.
There’s nowhere to hide, it’s all sand (so much distance)
And only one friend who would take us in.
But he’s a whole day’s walk away
And my arms just can’t manage the weight.
So, I will lay with you forever if you just keep breathing.
Oh, don’t you know I will never let you go.
Oh, don’t you know I will never let you, never let you.
We can’t afford love, they’re already coming for us, for us.
Our love is something they can never take from us.
Just keep breathing.
I promise your death is not in vain my love, it’s death to them.
God knows how much time is left.
So, as you take your final breath,
think about the way we used to dance.
Oh, I can see it now.
Oh, don’t you know I will never let you go.
Oh, don’t you know I will never let you, never, never!
We can’t afford love, they already took her from us. From us.
