We're gonna crawl now—don't let your guard down Don't let anybody see Give the act up—it won't protect us It's no time for empathy You'll be alright—we're on the same side But don't you ever think of burning me When you taste blood, stay with us And keep your chin up, oh Don't fret now—just keep your head down And don't let it get to you Don't put your hands up—it won't protect us Remember who you answer to There's no remorse and no reset Please acknowledge that I've made that clear If you choke up then you're hopeless And you won't leave here Looking at you, looking at me Pieces of mind float freely Savor the shrapnel. Remember to breathe Moments like these are fleeting In the aftermath In the aftermath In the aftermath Of a revelation When we get through this and you review it Will you ever forgive me? Will I do enough, or maybe too much? Will I fight or fly or freeze? Are you still alive? Are you alright? Don't you think of giving up on me Say something—stay with me Please just wake up Looking at you, looking at me Pieces of mind float freely Savor the shrapnel. Remember to breathe Moments like these are fleeting In the aftermath In the aftermath In the aftermath Of a revelation
