Ten years on

Every time the line rings I hear a death knell

A voice of darkness

Can't face the feeling

Their lives are ending

Double bolt the door

Wait out the night

Can't face the end alone

Can't hold the night at bay

Can't try to save myself

Can't bear the burden on my own

I fight the nightmares

Face down the fear or sleep through what's left of my life. Shadows fill the street

Sweat out the heat

Grasp the line

Wait out our time

Can't face the end alone

Can't hold the night at bay

Can't try to save myself

Can't bear the burden on my own

I can't bear this life unguided

I can't live to see you in the ground
