lyrics

it's been five long days
this new time and space
free from comforts and spoils
birds have filled the air, water,land
and there's no signs of death

i could've had it all
but i love you enough to let you go

but i know, i know it's empty
and it won't, it won't be long
breath of life

dirt of the earth i turned into meaning
my heart just stopped, but yours just starts beating
held in my hand
but i must let you go
