I carry my father in this box

A pillar of paralyzing loss a set of broken shoulders

I'm older, but can't forget the cost of hanging in the fray

Here comes a second wave

Lower my head, hold my breath, and keep me underneath

Come down from your tower, I can't cower behind it all

I'm ready for the fall

We disengage - paying for death from within

Give me the strength to let me start again

Swallowing blood and pride

Set aside and divide my father's permanence

And you won't be there, in the end, for me to let you down again

We're spiralling down while looking up

You were my only friend

It's taking its toll on me - unable to see, only born to bleed

You kept me safe and immersed me in quiet strength - in hopes of better days

I know you're not in pain, but it was all too late

The family dies and the child fades

Come down from your tower, I can't cower behind it all

I'm ready for the fall

We disengage - paying for death from within

Give me the strength to let me start again

Swallowing blood and pride

Set aside and divide my father's permanence

And you won't be there, in the end, for me to let you down again

We're spiralling down while looking up

You were my only friend

You were my only friend

Follow in your steps, wasted moments left

We're fading faster than we can mend

And you won't be there, in the end, for me to let you down again

We're spiralling down while looking up

You were my only friend

And you won't be there, in the end, for me to let you down again

We're spiralling down while looking up

You were my only friend

You were my only friend and we could never mend
