My heart's still failing to engage
As these words lie thinly on the page
It's trench warfare, ten feet at a time
In a game that resets every single night
Even though the battles feel the same
There's still no point counting yesterdays
So I'll take the fall, and pray for rain
Just to test my soul again
Find the love I'm yet to regain
The horizon hasn't moved an inch
So with eyes closed, I measure by the wind
I'm no faster even at a sprint
I just pray I'll never crawl again
Even though the battles feel the same
The light I cast is different every day
So make way, I'm bearing down on love
To reclaim the birthright a son
'Til this frame is bled to skin and bone
And I curse the tombs that I called home
So I'll take the fall, and pray for rain
Just to test my soul again
Miles behind, just steps ahead
'Til I'm shouting from my bed
My eyes closed, but I was never dead
Even though the battle's feel the same
Even if these stones never hold my name
Even though my god lays cold again
