Killing Reason - Like Thieves

You are the burning embers

Of a million scars

I feel the cold steel blade of the wars you waged

The pain I can’t disregard

Underneath the surface

Just below my skin

I feel this wrenching pain

When I hear your name

From the shame that I let you in

Shifting seasons

You are the knife, the wound and the scars

The killing reason

It reminds me who we are

Is all that we are

All that we are?

The photographs are empty

Once I could only see your face

Now all that I see stretching out from me

Is the nothingness turned to waste

Once I would have called you

As I trace these steps unknown

Through the wind that chills

I am bleeding still

I will do this on my own

Shifting seasons

You are the knife, the wound and the scars

The curious reason

The cost to great to far

If all that we are is

All that we are

At twilight’s edge

I have seen the dead

In these memories of mine

Where shadows fall

When voices can’t call

In these memories of mine

I have seen the end

The rapture’s a gift my friend

In these memories of mine

You are the scars

You are my scars

The shifting season

The killing reasons

If all that we are is

All that we are
