Erosion Where do I start? This thing’s tearing us apart Nothing is clear, where do we go from here? No wonder in sight, not even the blackest night So where do I start? It only remains to empty this heart Everything that I came to trust slipped away I resisted the call to arms, feet of clay Now when I sleep, I reach for the book I keep In my hour of need I turn to the pages no one will read Everything that I came to trust slipped away I live through this a thousand times every day All the time that I’m held in suspension And unable to make myself heard I can’t hold back the tide of erosion And the vision that haunts me is blurred Been as cold as I can since who knows when Would that I could feel now as I did then Get in out of the light, avoid the glare Lost and out on a limb, miles from anywhere All the time that I’m held in suspension And unable to make myself heard I can’t hold back the tide of erosion And the vision that haunts me is blurred Everything that I came to trust slipped away I resisted the call to arms, feet of clay Everything that I came to trust slipped away I live through this a thousand times every day
