Calling Hours

I've tried to hold what I can

You should see these scars that are on my hands

Letting go is never easy to do

Everyday's a new door that we all must go through

I've learned so much, you're never gone, my friend

I know we'll meet the same shining end

Forget the who, the what, the when, the where, the why

Did you love something with all of your might?

Sometimes it's death that sets us free

To ask for more, well it feels obscene

But what we had we will always have

I'm not afraid because I know that it was pure

And stands forevermore

Forget the who, the what, the when, the where, the why

Deep down inside I know I tried

Did you love something with all of your might?

What's done is done the night takes everyone

As the shadows fall over town

And the sun sinks in the sea

All the wonder of what will wait

Is a whirlwind in me

Is the grass under the moon

Still growing and green?

When the sky begins to fall

Will love stand by me?

Are our fathers forever still?

Will our mothers only weep?

Does the dream of yesterday

Come true from a prayer on our knees?

You told me to "give everything" and now you're tired?

Then let's get loud and go out with open fire

Or make it intimate, hold you close with piano wire

I'll get so ugly that you'll see the best of you that I've admired

As you lose your breath (but the shadow still remains)

I fucking hate that it hurts (but the shadow will remain)

I'll shake these walls with your name (but the shadow will remain)

Give you the loudest fucking echo (but the shadow will remain)

Don't grieve for your own end before you have finished it

I'm only heading to the ground

I'd rather feel rage than apathy

You know that it breaks me slowly

There's endless promise in this

This being infinite

So take the twisted love for it with understanding

I'm not ready

This will only leave me losing more

When I follow it down

To a place where no one knows what we have done

Bleed out to feel
