about
Bravery in the face of insurmountable odds. Is it foolhardy or admirable? It's tough to say for sure, especially in that moment when you're blinded by love...or what you think is love.
lyrics
I’m standing on a fragile precipice looking off of that cliff at the DRAGONS IN MY WAY.
If I jump right now, I could fly. Or I could burn and die. But I’m jumping either way.
The smoke that darkens up the sky obscures us from their sight, gives us the strength we need to try.
We fly past scales and talons bared. And wings grown rough with wear. And fire behind golden eyes.
Well, the fear it fades when I’m next to you.
The dragons all hidden from view.
I risk it all for something true.
I jump, I jump, I jump for you.
Soaring through the hazy sky, I feel the flames oh so real, but they can never burn us down.
Their necks all crane to reach for us, but their jaws aren’t fast enough to pierce and break our crowns.
The mystery that we both call love is surely dark enough to hide us from their view.
Though their wings beat fast inside the clouds ‘cause they’re desperate to break down the thing that ties me to you.
Chorus
Will our love last forever? No one can know that ever. But to fly and burn is better than a lazy hillside view.
Chorus
‘Cause the fear it fades when you’re next to me. The dragon’s breath has lost its heat. Terror threatens bravery. But I jump, I jump, in spite of me.
