From the Album:
We Fight To Heal
Lyrics and notesChords: Am, Dm, F, G
The mirrors in our eyes
distort the things we see outside
I want to hide, you want to die
we both feel selfish, we're both ashamed
and we are hopeless, seeking help
but what we touch just turns to dust
blowing back into our eyes
but we try
My stomach's been in knots
rotting away inside myself
cause I can't find the words to say
this is happening to everyone else
in different ways, it's not your fault
i'm not even sure who you are
but I know we're all falling apart
so close, so far
these words are murky like the feelings
they're attached to in my heart
we fight so violently to rip them out
and make a brand new start
but they keep coming back to haunt us
keeping us awake at night
assaulting all our senses
til we've lost the will to fight
and we've been close to giving up
we've been praying for the time
but we won't let ourselves surrender
it's not our time to die
I hope you know that I love you
I hope you know that I care
you're not one single person
you're every good thing that i've shared
we all seek something that we've been denied
things we have never found
all these years that we've been searching
we've been wandering around
but if we ever can believe that something's better around the bend
that we can make it if we try, that this isn't the end
my arms are open for your body for your mind and for your soul
and I can't promise, i'm not perfect, i'm just here and i'm your friend
