Lantern (Aphelios’ Song) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lover, I won't lie anymore
I've been pulled beneath the surface
Of the river that we tore
Lover, I invite you to know
That I need your help
It's only you whose lantern soul
I can't let go of

[Chorus]
On the surface high above me
There's a lantern floating down the river
Guiding me back up
Feel the current push against me
It's just easier to let it drag me
Do without me, lover

[Post-Chorus]
Cause I don't want struggle, you should know
That I would rather sink than go
Fight to live in a world that wants to kill me

[Verse 2]
But lover, then there's you
How could I let go while knowing
You'd be aimless for your life
And lover, if you knew
How it pains me just to swim back to the surface
But I do it for you, cause
[Chorus]
On the surface high above me
There's a lantern floating down the river
Guiding me back up
And I feel the current push against me
It's just easier to let it drag me
Do without me, lover

[Post-Chorus]
Cause I don't want a struggle, you should know
That I would rather sink than go
Fight to live in a world that wants to kill me

[Outro]
But lover, I won't lie
Since I met you, I've been scared to die
Lover, I can't lie
Since I've met you I don't want to die
Lover, I won't lie
Since I met you, I've been scared to die
Lover, I can't lie
Since I've met you, I don't want to die
