It's the space between your words
The ones you'll never hear
It's the time before you sleep
For the thoughts you'll always fear
It's the silence that you're dreading
In the absence that you'll find
It's the melody you're humming
Of the haunting of your mind

So many are spending and rotting to the core
So much to take home, but we're lined up at the door
All that we fight for is lost in 'ever more'
This isn't our battle, but we're dying in the war

Of others
Forever more
Forfeiting youth
Without metaphor

So many are spending and rotting to the core
So much is inside, but no-one's knocking on the door
All that we've lost remains in 'never more'
This isn't our battle, but we're dying in the war

Of others
Forever more
Losing our youth
Without metaphor

So many are spending and rotting to the core
So much for darkness when we've opened the cellar door
All we create dies in 'never more'
This isn't our battle, but we're dying in the war

Of others
Forever more
Forfeiting youth
Without metaphor

It's the breath you take before screaming...
