It kills me not to know this
But I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes was
And her scars or how she got them,
As the telling signs of age rain down
single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face 
That this world has forgotten...

There is no reconciliation
That will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
To drink 
These draining seconds,
But seldom do these words ring [bad word] When I'm constantly failing you,
Like walls that we just can't
Break through until we disappear
 [bad word] ]
So tell me now: if this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
Because I don't know...
That's when she said:
"I don't hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while
There's still something left to save"
That's when I told her:
"I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"

But the day pressed on
Like [bad word] weights,
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes.
Bathed in flames we 
Held the brand,
Uncurled the fingers in your hand,
Pressed into the flesh like sand...
Now do you understand?
 [bad word] 

1000 miles away,
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know.
We never had a choice,
This world is too much noise,
It takes me under
It takes me under once again...
 [bad word] ]
So tell me now: if this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
Because I don't know...
That's when she said:
"I don't hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while
There's still something left to save"
That's when I told her:
"I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
