I see your eyes, the fire that burns
The mirror pointed straight at me that brings my shadow out
Trying to hide all the rage from in my poise
Verescently the other side, afraid of this feeling you're leaving mine
Frightened of the need to cut my losses
The sinking feeling we will carry on and only survive
While the pacing back and forth absolves your options
The tragedy is we will carry on and only survive
The blood I spilled to bite my tongue
I wish this blood would drench your hands then I...then would I feel right inside?
Has this weight upon my back been always hollow?
Would my warning shots precede returning fire?
I'm too afraid to ever know
Strike your anvil, drain your pen, complete your project
By your side and idly by I'll stay, smiling through misty eyes
Frightened of the need to cut my losses
The sinking feeling we will carry on and only survive
While the pacing back and forth absolves your options
The tragedy is we will carry on and only survive
