We exchanged a breath to fill our lungs
So words would sound from our tongues
In darkness
We lied still and silent for so long
That we forgot where we belonged
And the faces that were so familiar are gone
Now we are surrounded by strangers
Tall and nightmarish figures
Stalking us like prey
Listening in on every word we say
The cold air brings the death of the day
And the strangers move in close
So I hold you in my arms
To let you know I will cause you no harm
I will not let them tear us apart
The words that once broke your heart
Will not chain you to the dark anymore
The light of the dawn is our savior
And the strangers will disappear
Along with the dark and along with our fear
