Took Her Breath Away

How will you travel when she's lost her lungs
How will you float when the water's all gone
How will you see all that she has become
If she screams, she can't breathe

And you want to hear all that she has to say
Enjoy how she turns a dark night into day
But with every step closer her body decays
'cause you took her breath away

Her forests are burning with fire ignited by greed and loneliness
If she knew from the start that we'd treat her like this
She would not let us exist
But the truth has been told and souls have been sold
She cries harder everyday
And she can't find a reason to fight anymore
'cause we'll kill her anyway

She spent years trying to figure out
Why we chose power over love
While she gave us the world and we said to her
That's not enough
Oh, we want to make the rules you will obey
It's only the whole goddamn world that's at stake
And before she could argue the verdict was made
That she'd be the one to pay

Her forests are burning with fire ignited by greed and loneliness
If she knew from the start that we'd treat her like this
She would not let us exist
But the truth has been told and souls have been sold
She cries harder everyday
And she can't find a reason to fight anymore
'cause we'll kill her anyway

My mother's crying
'cause I took her breath away
My mother's dying
And I stab her everyday
My mother's crying
But her children look away
My mother's dying
'cause I took her breath away

Every day she wonders
What it takes for us to see
That we can't live without her
'cause there is no planet B

My mother's crying
'cause I took her breath away
My mother's dying
And I stab her everyday
(Everyday)
My mother's crying
But her children look away
My mother's dying
'cause I took her breath away
