F#                               G#
How cold a tear can feel on warm skin
A#m                         G#
So delicate, violently it begins
F#                              G#
Within this universe I will be lost
A#m                        G#
Moving from rivers to mountain tops

F#
I can't stay here
      A#m                G#
I'll throw myself in the ocean
   F#    A#m
I lift myself
   G#
And run.

Chorus:
              F#
Like a gentle earthquake, it intensifies
     A#m      G#
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
My heart! My head! My mind!
F#
And if the fire dies
         A#m          G#
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
A#m               F# G#
Light will guide her

The fascinating way you change your color
The ugly and the flawless beauty of us
With the combination of purple and pink
The only traces of our love blossoming

I'm not home
In a place where love has been broken
I lift myself and run

Chorus:
Like a gentle earthquake, it intensifies
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
(My heart, my head, my mind!)

Twisted body parts moving synchronized
Watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes
All the flowers grow to a luscious field
All connecting love becomes a human shield

Chorus:
Like a gentle earthquake, it intensifies
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
(My heart, my head, my mind!)

Twisted body parts moving synchronized
Watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes
All the flowers grow to a luscious field
All connecting love becomes a human shield
