Before the Fight Ends You

Let's go

Standing here again as the words

Fail to hit the page

Towering in silence straining thoughs

To create

There's no safe words

There's no stasis

There's no fixing the broken places

I see just one more chance for redemption

A selfless child's dream of ascension

End the fight

Before the fight ends you

This could be the day

Things only fall in the hands we raise

End the fight

Before the fight ends you

Of all the lies I've told

This is the least untrue

All the pictures didn't change but the poeple in them did

Monuments don't always crumble

When the pillars have

Maybe the light is fading

As the tunnel closes in

But who are you to see this

As this journey just begins

Forgetting nothing

Forgiving so much less

The devil you thought you never knew

Is now the one that knows you the best

Now end the fight

End the fight

Before the fight ends you

This could be the day

Things only fall in the hands we raise

End the fight

Before the fight ends you

Of all the lies I've told

This is the least untrue

I try to forget yesterday

When I'm living through today

And I don't know what tomorrow brings

Or what it might take away

Forgetting nothing

Forgiving so much less

The devil you thought you never knew

Is now the one that you know the best

Now end the fight.
