Backs against the wall
We feel the fire burning white
Hot like the love we had
This is how we lost the fight
Holding onto something here
Words ashes in our mouths
Smoke pouring from sky-cast eyes
We’re strangers in this house
Angry hearts and angry thoughts
Ring false throughout our world
Another love another dream
Fall victim to the hurt
I told you once
The three words we craved
But they weren’t enough
To make us stay
The blood we drew
Can’t be returned to our hearts
Another life we wanted so badly
Gone but remembered in scars
Embittered by the battle
We count our casualties again
And the lies we tell within our minds
Make child’s-play of our sins
Cast aside we clutch our pride
As we watch each other burn
Another song sung for too long
The memories return
Counting to infinity
Our minds wander through the past
Carried home to the charred remains
We weren’t strong enough to last
