We like to think, that we might have
Some semblance of control
A path to walk, a hill to climb
A meaning for our soul
But there will come, a time too soon
When you’ll have to face the facts
The ticking clock, that never stops
With each beat hear the cracks

One and two
Peace and war
Hand in hand
Needing more

The shell before me kept me from freedom
When I was young
He held my hand, he forced my hands
To do what he wants done
He never knew who I was truly
Deep within my core
Whether blind by age or past and pain
His wants where all he saw

One and two
Three and four
Hand on hand
Beating more

I needed more than he could give
More than he had inside
He never knew, he never saw
How hurtful was his pride
But there were sometimes rays of light 
That sparkled in his eyes
I take these scraps, I hold them dear
In the hopes there’ll never die within me

One and two
Three and four
Hand on hand
Beating more
Burning arms
Ragged breath
Absence here
Is all that’s left

For he is gone, I carry on
These haunting things that I feel
Are harder now to heal
I’ve seen the end, saw what won’t mend
The dark that waits for us all when we fall

And he is gone, we carry on
These haunting things that I feel
Will take some time to heal
I’ve seen the end, feel what won’t mend
The dark that waits for us all when we finally fall
