I've felt the ruin and tire
Of lives fated to dead soil and closing walls
I've watched the skies constrict across a battered shoreline
The bleakest streets of rain and rust compel me now
To take this chance and never give it up
My mind has been screaming
The words to write this song
The feeling hit with urgence
Now I know what it was
I'd been down so long that I couldn't continue
I'd been down so long
The road ahead is cold and daunting
My every step falls on shaking ground
Still I'll carry your weary head and broken heart
Knowing it's the one thing we both share
We fuck too much and loved so seldom
Learning to make a living, not a life
I've drowned my conscience, late nights
But I don't want that anymore
For there's no diamonds in the sick and dirt
There's no love in all this fucking hurt
Only distance and separation
Of lives fated to dead soil and closing walls
I've watched the skies constrict across a battered shoreline
The bleakest streets of rain and rust compel me now
To take this chance and never give it up
The words to write this song
The feeling hit with urgence
Now I know what it was
I'd been down so long that I couldn't continue
I'd been down so long
The road ahead is cold and daunting
My every step falls on shaking ground
Still I'll carry your weary head and broken heart
Knowing it's the one thing we both share
Learning to make a living, not a life
I've drowned my conscience, late nights
But I don't want that anymore
For there's no diamonds in the sick and dirt
There's no love in all this fucking hurt
Only distance and separation
