Into the fray we can't jump to conclusions
|
For we are not what it seems like
|
Give me your hand, give me your hand
|
|
I came to you
|
you promised me
|
that you were on just a temporary phase
|
sheets in the wind
|
no harm at all
|
No blood, no foul
|
|
But now you're hurt
|
Your pain is deep
|
And it's just killing me to see
|
Tonight I'd do anything to untie you
|
from this locomotive
|
|
If falling faster helps
|
I'll sink into oblivion
|
I'll sink so fast your head will spin
|
|
You hold the vapor in your hands
|
To disregard the scent that pulls you out
|
This fleeting glimpse is all you have
|
Please don't blink twice
|
It will disappear before your eyes
|
|
I saw the look in your eyes
|
Screaming out for mercy
|
Sidestepping series of disappearing waves
|
Of disappointment
|
All the things that hold you back
|
Please tell me why you won't let me in
|
You're slitting your own neck
|
And I can't stop you from trying
|
|
If falling faster helps
|
I'll sink into oblivion
|
I'll sink so fast your head will spin
|
|
You hold the vapor in your hands
|
To disregard the scent that pulls you out
|
This fleeting glimpse is all you have
|
Please don't blink twice
|
It will disappear before your eyes
|
|
Your heart is beating faster now
|
With abrasive syllables, you stumble for a shaky word
|
My heart is bursting for the time
|
When sleep won't come
|
Until safety rings in my ears
|
But I'll never be able to sleep
|
I'll never be able to sleep again
|
But I'll never be able to sleep
|
I'll never be able to sleep again
|
|
Thanks for coming, thanks for coming
|
He said as he walked up to the steps
|
With our heads held low
|
Aware of our cracked faces in the sun
|
We had been running for so long
|
We had been running
|
That our shoes were as paper
|
as we struggled on these blistered feet
|
|
His words are as a gentle breeze
|
We had been sweating
|
grief stricken tears we had been crying
|
But it was finished all along
|
|
Now we can hold our hears up high
|
And say that it was worth the climb
|
The struggle for our very soul
|
The struggle was not ours at all
|
