Rabbit Heart [Raise It Up] lyrics

The looking glass

So shiny and new

How quickly the glamour fades

I start spinning

Slipping out of time

Was that the wrong pill to take?

(Raise it up)

You made a deal, and now it seems

You have to offer up

But will it ever be enough?

(Raise it up, raise it up)

It's not enough

(Raise it up, raise it up)

Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl

Frozen in the headlights

It seems I've made

The final sacrifice

We raise it up

This offering

We raise it up

Chorus:

This is a gift

It comes with a price

Who is the lamb

And who is the knife?

Midas is king

And he holds me so tight

And turns me to gold

In the sunlight

I look around but I can't find you

(Raise it up)

If only I could see your face

(Raise it up)

Instead of rushing

Towards the skyline

(raise it up)

I wish that I could just be brave

I must become a lion hearted girl

Ready for a fight

Before I make

The final sacrifice

We raise it up

This offering

We raise it up

Chorus

(Raise it up, raise it up) (×2)

And in the spring I shed my skin

And it blows away

With the changing wind

The waters turn from blue to red

As towards the sky I offer it

Chorus (×3)

This is a gift
