I was Amchasing down the days of fear
GChasing down a dream before it Fdisappeared
I was Amaching to be somewhere near
Your Gvoice was all I Fheard
[Verse 2]
I was Amshaking from a storm in me
GHaunted by the spectres that we Fhad to see
Yeah, I Amwanted to be the melody
Above the Gnoise, above the Fhurt
[Pre-Chorus]

Not dCumb
Just wGishing to be Fblinded

And we were Dpilgrims on our way
[Chorus]
