Erosion

Where do I start ?

This thing's tearing us apart

Nothing is clear

Where do we go from here ?

No wonder in sight, not even the blackest night

So where do I start ?

It only remains to empty this heart

Everything I came to trust slipped away

I resisted the call to arms, feet of clay

Now when I sleep

I reach for the book I keep

In my hour of need

I turn to the pages no-one will read

Everything that I came to trust slipped away

I live through this a thousand times every day

All this time that I've held in suspension

And unable to make myself heard

I can't hold back the tide of erosion

And the vision that haunts me is blurred

Been as cold as I can since who knows when

Would that I could feel now as I did then

Get in out of the light, avoid the glare

Lost and out on a limb, miles from anywhere

All the time that I'm held in suspension

And unable to make myself heard

I can't hold back the tide of erosion

And the vision that haunts me is blurred

Everything that I came to trust slipped away

I resisted the call to arms, feet of clay

Everything that I came to trust slipped away

I live this a thousand times every day
