Lost and losing trust
I can't prevent the rust
It's starting to envelope
The lack of progress 
between us 
Lessons learned through handshakes
Storied scars and faded stains
Things we still believe in
Caught before they fall through drains 
Hard to say what's on my mind
Knowing well it means goodbye
Look for ways that I can tell you
Thanks, but I will be just fine
Lessons learned through handshakes
Storied scars and faded stains 
Things we still believe in 
Caught before they fall through drains
Time won't wait 
for the days gone by
Find a way to remain 
well and I (?)
So I find the time to write 
Words of hope and words of spite
Calloused hands and candle light
Bend the words to make it right
Lessons learned through handshakes
Storied scars and faded stains 
Things we still believe in 
Caught before they fall through drains
