These weathered hands, cold and cracked,
Need time to heal
Splitting sides reveal a truth
That you’re yet to feel
And I pray for the time
The pain in my eyes begins to subside
But my insides burn
As we take turns in spinal curves
God, what have we done?
The night defeats the sun
As my eyes reflect in the glass,
I’m shown a review of the past
An old friend
Who I knew so well
Has time really changed you this much?
Or is it some pitiful crutch
You’re clinging to?
You’ll slip soon
Signs that night is calling it a day
I guess the long forgotten dawn is on it’s way
And yet nothings changed
And I still wait for the time
When this loop in my life begins to unwind
But I’ll hold my tongue
Before this becomes transparent
And completely undone
Oh what have you done?
What if all we are is what we have
And what we have is nothing?
Do we forget the hopes we tried to live
And leave that one unanswered?
Yeah what if…
…I was wrong?
Keep that head held strong
Clocks are beating out of time
Brother, brother of mine. Brother of mine.
What if all we are is what we have
And what we have is nothing?
Do we forget the hopes we tried to live
And leave that one unanswered?
