lyrics

take this in
breathe it deep
this is all you have
it is all you can keep
cause it all falls apart
it all will burn
you'll have what remains
while the river turns

loosen your grip and try to recall
my first name
can you give everything
would you give everything
or have you forgotten what it all means

so what is it you have
is it all you've ever wanted
leave me
oh you can leave me with nothing
for we are only but a moment
where is beauty held
trees are growing through your city walls

oh where is beauty held
tell me where is beauty held
