Afterbirth Of A Nation

The coldest days, this empty space
Will never stop me from moving on
The coldest days, this empty space
Could never stop me from losing you

I've been told along the line
So sacred and divine
That all fragile souls will fall
How much longer can I try
To let it all pass by
Waiting for someone else to fill in

The distance that has come between us
Favors the dream
And our actions they spoke louder near the end
In the depth of fear I'll find sweet relief
(But) now I need you to soften the blow

Images don't ease the pain
Anomaly and inane
Dreams (they) give us nothing to plan on
Promises are only words
Often told but never heard
Hollow hearts can never bear the weight of the fall into silence

The coldest days, this empty space
Could never stop me from losing you

The distance that has come between us
Favors the dream
And our actions they spoke louder near the end
In the depth of fear I'll find sweet relief
(But) now I need you to soften the blow
