[Verse]
Tie me to a sinking ship
And I will find a way to float
There is something in me that won’t quit
A force that never lets me go
[Verse]
Even when my body's broke and limp
And my spirit strung out on a wire
And the small coil of my will it clings
[Refrain]
I don’t know how to die
[Verse]
I’m a lily on a twilight lake
Finding peace within her pain
From the bank the angels stare indifferent
Among them I’m un-heavenly and plain
[Verse]
Yet the universe it breaths me in
She’s keeping me alive
For no purpose more than surviving
[Refrain]
I don’t know how to die
I don’t know how to die
[Verse]
Somewhere on my pilgrimage
Father walked out of my sky
Now godless I am left screaming
[Refrain]
I don’t know how to die
I don’t know how to die
[Verse]
Like a linen priestess laying long
Set the arrow heads a light
Birth me from my aching shore
Where deliverance shall finally be mine
[Refrain]
I don’t know how to die
I don’t know how to die
