Florence and the Machine

It's always darkest before the dawn.

I knew that somehow I could find my way back, Then I heard you heart beating, You were in the darkness too, So I stayed in the darkness with you.

If you could only see The beast you've made of me, I held it in, but now it seems You've it in running free, The saints can't help me now The ropes have been unbound...

You are the silence in between what I thought and what I said.

No more dreaming like a girl So in love with the wrong world.

I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart.

Say my name, And every color illuminates, We are shining, And we will never be afraid again.

And the heart is hard to translate, It has a language of it's own, It talks and tongues in quiet sighs, In prayers and proclamations, In the grand days of great men And the smalle…

Holy water cannot help you now, A thousand armies couldn't keep me out. I don't want your money, I don't want your crown. See I've come to burn Your kingdom down.

I hope that you see me, Cause I'm staring at you But when you look over, You look right through, Then you lean and kiss her on the head, And I never felt so alive, and so... dead.

You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to make you stay.

And my running feet could fly.

My love has concrete feet, My love's an iron ball, Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall

Hold on to your heart, cause I'm coming to take it. Hold on to you heart, cause I'm coming to break it.

Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments.

I try to find the sound, But then it stopped, And I was in the darkness.
