We guide our hearts through love and war Like riders on the storm Searching for the shore What have I learned The thicker the skin the deeper the scar When the blood will shed in vain All for nothing What have I learned Today fades into yesterday Tomorrow stays forever a day away You follow the wise and lead the blind Leaving footprints in the sand A walking contradiction What have I learned I am barely alive, barely alive Slowly treading water I am barely alive, barely alive Reaching my hand down to you Drag me out of the water Pull me down from the clouds Drag me out of the water Pull me down from the clouds Today fades into yesterday Tomorrow stays forever a day away I am barely alive, barely alive Slowly treading water I am barely alive, barely alive Under a blood read skyline I am barely alive, barely alive Slowly treading water I am barely alive, barely alive Reaching my hand down to you Drag me out of the water Pull me down from the clouds
