I see myself in the bodies being carried out

I see myself in you when safety falls again

It broke something essential like nothing ever would

A promise to give, a promise to hold



This is not what I want you to hear right now

But our time is running out

So far removed from what you need to know

Words too hard to handle

Our time is running out

We're by demons encircled



Eroding away at reason

The bile of insecurity

This fear devoid of nuance

And fact resistant belief

I hold together what I can

I hold together what I know



This is not what I want you to hear right now

But our time is running out

So far removed from what you need to know

Words too hard to handle

Our time is running out

We’re by demons encircled



These are just symptoms of experience and life

I wish I could postpone



It eats at our logic like nothing ever should

It claws at our humanity so nothing can remain

This is the currency of faith and we are coming up short

The reality of failure, now upon us



This is not what I want you to hear right now

But our time is running out

So far removed from what you need to know

Words too hard to handle

Our time is running out

We’re by demons encircled
