I have laid down with the angels and the sirens too

Never thought I'd pick up a devil, got quite a few

I tried to shake them but they found me with their relentless pace

And the blades grew with the darkness over my lightless days

I remember the fall, I remember the fear

Ever deeper the hole, year after year

All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear

I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear

Would a friend try and justify my walk on the ice to die by insisting on a lie?

Such ignorance with arrogance In shadows the knives dance

Stealthy poison leaves no chance

I remember the fall, I remember the fear

Ever deeper the hole, year after year

All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear

I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear

I never believed that I'd just walk and be free

I never

I'm held by the memory when I was seen as me

My back's been holed with wounds, take a look and nothing shows

It's just the knives of the old

The void I gasp my breath from chokes my heart again

Let it go still, let it go cold

I got left on the path of anger, the circles left my mind

I'd seen too much and my wisdom left me, left me raging blind

I remember the fall, I remember the fear

Ever deeper the hole, year after year

All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear

I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear

I remember the fall, I remember the fear

Ever deeper the hole, year after year

All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear

I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
