Taper

Faint scars on my body

Fragments of where I've been

Sparse echoes from heartbeats

That still beat within

Sometimes my presence won't hold

I feel like I can't breathe

Feels like I've lost control

Cause' my heart is too old

While my soul is too young

It's getting harder and harder

And I can't hold on much longer

Dark skies fell right on me

Will I ever spread my wings?

Dark skies and dark waters

I need to feel free from sin

And when the day comes too close

I forgot how to swim

I've lost control

Cause' my heart is too old

While my soul is too young

And I need to control

Just how fast this goes

I feel this heart's too cold

Yet the world's much colder

And it's getting harder

I can't hold on much longer

I never felt like I stepped out of the night and

were you watching me fight all of this?

Because we never felt like we were invited

You say you never knew of this

And I never thought I'd cry these rivers

For you or for me

Never

Cause' my heart is too old

While my soul is too young

And I need to control

Just how fast this goes

I feel this heart's too cold

Yet the world's much colder

And it's getting harder

I can't hold on much longer
