You’re Delicate

But you’re covered in thorns

And you’ll lock horns with the

Heaviest of them

Like a battering ram through a cast iron wicket

But you don’t dare look back

You move forward you keep it on track

But you’re delicate

Yeah you’re delicate

I see the edge

To clear my head

I dive right in

I sink or swim

But time runs thin

Each second slips

Away with every breath

What’s coming after?

If we should falter

What to hold on to?

Don’t tell me now

That you’re willing to forget a dream

That you’re open to the emptiness

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Bitter thoughts and of penitence

Of a man who could forsake a dream

Of a man who sought out emptiness

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Bitter thoughts and of penitence

You’re delicate

Like a bottle of wine and a bar room brawler

Brings you crashing down

Like the hammer of Thor on a brass bar railing

And though you’re smashed apart

You grow sharper, you’re piercing hearts

You’re delicate

Yeah you’re delicate

What’s coming after?

If we should falter

What to hold on to?

Don’t tell me now

That you’re willing to forget a dream

That you’re open to the emptiness

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Bitter thoughts and of penitence

Of a man who could forsake a dream

Of a man who sought out emptiness

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Bitter thoughts and of penitence

So you’re willing to forget a dream?

So you’re open to the emptiness?

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Of a hundred wonderings why we lost it all

We let it go

We let ourselves

Forsake our dreams

And let our hearts seek emptiness

Don’t tell me now

That you’re willing to forget a dream

That you’re open to the emptiness

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Bitter thoughts and of penitence

Of a man who could forsake a dream

Of a man who sought out emptiness

Of a thousand days and nights of shame

Bitter thoughts and of penitence
