Can you hear me now?
Have I faded out?

Are we broken down?
Riddled full of doubt?

Will we persevere?
Or give in to it all?

Consumed forever by fear?
Unable to stand tall?

Will we walk again?
Or are we doomed to crawl?

Will you tell me where you stand?
My hazy mind just can't recall.

I cannot offer much.
I have little left to give.

I'll teach you how to love.
If you teach me how to live.

And we'll think of days gone by.
When we were burning at the core.

Here forever by your side,
I could ask for nothing more.
