lyrics

The door cracked open,
It calls, beckons for,
The weary lover,
To be vulnerable.
A step inside; a heart left out to bleed.
Groping in darkness,
Fearlessly trudging on,
So refreshed by reciprocal investment,
And so he fell; he could not be helped.

Separated by that which she’s sure of knowing,
Weary lover you are without hope.
Kept apart by questioning the doctrine,
Unified by skin and warm embrace.

The feeling of being one with another,
It tastes so sweet.
The screaming of warnings,
To abandon ship and to protect his heart…
Ignored.

Take his soul, it’s all he has to give.
Bells will toll, the death within begins.
Don’t wait up for unrequited love.

The door cracked open,
It calls, beckons for,
The weary lover,
To be vulnerable.
A step inside; a heart left out to bleed.
Groping in darkness,
Fearlessly trudging on,
So refreshed by reciprocal investment,
And so he fell; he could not be helped.
Could not be helped.

Through all the mud, the muck, and the struggle,
He stands back up from beneath the rubble.
At times like these, he must stand firm,
In the end you live and you learn.

Keep moving.
Don’t look back. Keep moving.

Amazing songs,KSE lyrics helps me a lot,i lost my father recently(2020). The time where i was really close with him was in summer 2007 and i listened a lot to ADD Album at the time.
