lyrics

With wounds, we will follow to battle
Fatigued and broken hearts
With words we find the perfect weapon
(The perfect weapon)
These mouths much stronger than swords
I know this will all come back to you
(Back to you)
I’ll try not to let you drown

We are the very same
We’re standing in the dark
(We are the waiting, the waiting)
And don't you wait for me
To waver in belief
(We all fall, but will we land on our…)

I feel as human as ever
With all my strengths and my, my defects here alike
I find it will all come back to you
But when you wait for me, we will not let you drown

We are the very same
We’re standing in the dark
(We are the waiting, the waiting)
And don't you wait for me
To waver in belief
(We all fall, but will we land on our feet?)

You’re only as great as what you give to the world
There’s so many ways to shape it
Yet so many ways to break it down
You’re only as great as what you give to the world
There are so many places love lives
Yet so many ways to let love in
