We guide our hearts through love and war Like riders on the storm Searching for the shore What have I learned The thicker the skin the deeper the scar When the blood will shed in vain All for nothing What have I learned Today fades into yesterday Tomorrow stays forever a day away You follow the wise and lead the blind Leaving footprints in the sand A walking contradiction What have I learned I am barely alive, barely alive Slowly treading water I am barely alive, barely alive Reaching my hand down to you (x2) Drag me out of the water Pull me down from the clouds Today fades into yesterday Tomorrow stays forever a day away I am barely alive, barely alive Slowly treading water I am barely alive, barely alive Under a blood read skyline I am barely alive, barely alive Slowly treading water I am barely alive, barely alive Reaching my hand down to you Drag me out of the water Pull me down from the clouds
