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 permanencе And you won’t be there in thе end For me to let you down again We’re spiraling 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 spiraling 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 spiraling 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 spiraling down while looking up You were my only friend You were my only friend And we could never mend
