lyrics

Know the toxin that consumes you
Letting go despite the cost
A life of blurs and consequences
Closest ties encased in frost

Dipsomania, your daily draw
A well of ache that’s never whole
Taps open up and down it pours
A thousand scattered reasons, untold, unknown

Can you love a broken man while your weapons are still drawn?
(Blood has chained me)
Is it blood that makes you weak?
Is it love that makes you strong?
(Love unchain me)

Is this all that still defines you
A legacy of ash and dust
Poisoning what’s left of us

Can you love a broken man while your weapons are still drawn?
(Blood has chained me)
Is it blood that makes you weak?
Is it love that makes you strong?
(Love unchain me)
And I know you cannot be
Any more than what you are
(Can you hear me?)
But I'm not my history I just needed you to know (Can you hear me?)

Inside our prison walls
Face to face with heavy shoulders
I look into your eyes
Weaker now and getting older
I'm searching through the lies
Knowing I won't find a reason
Where does compassion lie?
Beyond the reach of time and reason

Time and reason cannot change this life
Born afflicted with this sickness
I rise
I rise in ashes of a thousand cigarettes
The remnants of our conversations blowing in the wind
