We pressed the flesh with our teeth gritted
Got good at disguising feelings beneath
Purpose we pursued beggars belief
The seconds felt like the passing of years

We paid this damn heavy price
With what we loved most
It left us bitter and jaded
It has been said that
Time can heal all

As memories fade bitterness recedes
Construct the framework then light the torch
The burning structure acts as a beacon
To light our way back to home
Sift through the wreckage
Destroy to create a new life
