V1
Honour, in the eye of mind, to speak
Hope is loose and very much assumed
Communication leads me to a feast
Feelings forming in the inner core
CH
The traffic opens as I turn to look away
The sights persuade me, 'cause my eyes are wide awake
Give your attention to the girl who went away
Departing line is "are you gonna be ok?"
V2
Needing help is not the best of times
No dependency is cold but dry
Warmth is in demand but not supplied
Try to take what is deserved but only just denied
V3
Climbing back is such a test of strength
Learn to fight and learn to disappear
Salt rubbed into wounds, I smile with pain
Feelings forming, I must be alive.
