What We Conquer

Hitting rock bottom again today
The courage of the conscience pulling us far away
Led to pastures astray
Finding solace in the final days

Carry me
This momentary grey
Will serve to induce grief
In form of ecstasy

Mercilessly
It's taking hold (taking hold)
I swear it's not me
As I lose control (I lose control)
I know this hurts more than you dare let show
With hearts wide open
And words unspoken
Don't let go

Desperation is growing to rebuild this security
Is the great unknown quickly becoming our new home?
Carry me far from our darker days
Foundations feel like they're rotting away
Endlessly I fail this fleeting fight
Spiral towards a cancer deep inside

But I know there's so much more
So lift me up just once more

Mercilessly
It's taking hold (taking hold)
I swear it's not me
As I lose control (I lose control)
I know this hurts more than you dare let show
With hearts wide open
And words unspoken

If I'm to believe this life has a greater meaning
A fated being
Consider the ways of a man hellbent on repeating

So strike me down shall I fall
Yet lift me up through it all
Steadfast
Remain standing
Embers will burn tall
