Empires built on brick of hatred leaves man abhorred

Unfit to articulate

Unmuted too late

Reaped loss that I could not afford

Towards recovery from all apathy

With more questions to answer

More answers to seek

Contrite

It's how I feel

Out of line of sight

Fears stay concealed

United we stand, divided we fall

This gold hand abandoned

Now will you heed the call?

Every last word

Went to your head

Everyday I hurt

Left unsure

With everything left unsaid

This thin line that we tread

Trial and error

Another turn of the page

Break down

Build up

Lessons never lessened with age

Gained a voice but lost a friend

Left without a choice

But to see it through to the end

What I say won't always match what I do

I thought you took me for granted

But it was me that took you

The fire's been fed

This thin line we tread
