They’ll drop us broken and bleeding
On the rocks and sand.
Seems half the world is fleeing.
And word gets around.
What caused your heart to turn?
What made you want to burn it all down with a lie?
I know you’ll feel the shout gagging your mouth with sound.
This at least we must try.
He who dares at all must dare it all.
But now, hold me, I’m breaking.
He who dares at all must dare all.
He who dares at all must dare it all.
But now, hold me, I’m breaking.
He who dares at all must dare all.
One must know when to take shelter, mother.
And the time is now.
One must know when to run for cover.
And cheat death somehow.
The patience of the knife surely won’t suffice.
One lie burns all.
As every inaccurate word is strewn over the surface,
brace for the fall.
Hold me now, I am breaking…
Hold me now, I am breaking…
