No Blood No Foul - Burden Of A Day

Into the fray we can’t jump to conclusions

For we are not what it seems like

Give me your hand, give me your hand

I came to you

You promised me

That you were on just a temporary phase

Sheets in the wind

No harm at all

No blood, no foul

But now you’re hurt

And it’s just killing me to see

Tonight I’d do anything to untie you

From this locomotive

If falling faster helps

I’ll sink into oblivion

I’ll sink so fast your head will spin

You hold the vapor in your hands

To disregard the scent that pulls you out

This fleeting glimpse is all you have

Please don’t blink twice

It will disappear before your eyes

I saw the look in your eyes

Screaming out for mercy

Sidestepping series of disappearing waves

Of disappointment

All the things that hold you back

Please tell me why you won’t let me in

You’re slitting your own neck

And I can’t stop you from trying

If falling faster helps

I’ll sink into oblivion

I’ll sink so fast your head will spin

You hold the vapor in your hands

To disregard the scent that pulls you out

This fleeting glimpse is all you have

Please don’t blink twice

It will disappear before your eyes

Your heart is beating faster now

With abrasive syllables, you stumble for a shaky word

My heart is bursting for the time

When sleep won’t come

Till safety rings in my ears

I’ll never be able to sleep

I’ll never be able to sleep again

Thanks for coming

He said as he walked up to the steps

With our heads held low

Aware of out cracked faces in the sun

We had been running for so long

We had been running

That our shoes were as paper

As we struggled on these blistered feet

His words are as a gentle breeze

We had been sweating

Grief stricken tears we had been crying

But it was finished all along

Now we can hold our hears up high

And say that it was worth the climb

The struggle for our very soul

The struggle was not ours at all
