Heartache

Holding firm through every season

Through my own contempt for reason

Empty spaces where our words dwelled

Climbing up one hundred stairwells

Moments when the secret passage

twists in a relentless fashion

We have no desire to find our way

Yet here we are, standing strong

In the midst of it all

And we don’t really need another path to take

We don’t need another heartache

Dodging eyes of condemnation

Breathing deep in our salvation

People pull with tireless passion

Stretching limbs in each direction

One who claims to know what’s true by

pasting thoughts with thread and glue

They’re filling broken bottles with new wine

Yet here we are, standing strong

In the midst of it all

And we don’t really need another path to take (3x)

We don’t need another heartache

Clinging to what’s left in us alive

We’re waiting for the chaos to subside

And I’m breathing in the stillness of your heart

The hope for release, for peace

Here we are, standing strong
