|
I've tried to hold what I can |
|
You should see these scars that are on my hands |
|
Letting go is never easy to do |
|
Everyday's a new door that we all must go through |
|
I've learned so much, you're never gone, my friend. |
|
I know we'll meet the same shining end. |
|
Forget the who, the what, the when, the where, the why |
|
Did you love something with all of your might? |
|
Sometimes it's death that sets us free |
|
To ask for more, well it feels obscene |
|
But what we had we will always have |
|
I'm not afraid because I know that it was pure |
|
And stands forevermore. |
|
Forget the who, the what, the when, the where, the why |
|
Deep down inside I know I tried |
|
Did you love something with all of your might? |
|
What's done is done the night takes everyone |
|
As the shadows fall over town |
|
And the sun sinks in the sea |
|
All the wonder of what will wait |
|
Is a whirlwind in me |
|
Is the grass under the moon |
|
Still growing and green? |
|
When the sky begins to fall |
|
Will love stand by me? |
|
Are our fathers forever still? |
|
Will our mothers only weep? |
|
Does the dream of yesterday |
|
Come true from a prayer on our knees? |
|
You told me to "give everything" and now you're tired? |
|
Then let's get loud and go out with open fire |
|
Or make it intimate, hold you close with piano wire |
|
I'll get so ugly that you'll see the best of you that I've admired |
|
As you lose your breath |
|
(but the shadow still remains) |
|
I fucking hate that it hurts |
|
(but the shadow will remain) |
|
I'll shake these walls with your name |
|
(but the shadow will remain) |
|
Give you the loudest fucking echo |
|
(but the shadow will remain) |
|
Don't grieve for your own end before you have finished it |
|
I'm only heading to the ground |
|
I'd rather feel rage than apathy |
|
You know that it breaks me slowly |
|
There's endless promise in this |
|
This being infinite |
|
So take the twisted love for it with understanding |
|
I'm not ready |
|
This will only leave me losing more |
|
When I follow it down |
|
To a place where no one knows what we have done |
|
Bleed out to feel |
