lyrics

And it starts with, that one word
A thought you couldn't share
And I found out, the secrets
The ones you wouldn't tell

Betray, the one
A friend who always said
They worry, the distance
The miles that are in between

It doesn't matter, what's fair in war?
The dead are gone, and we're so far from the sun

Delay the sickness
The cure is far from done
Won't let you regress
To the place we're running from
To the place we're running from

Abandoned, asunder
For better, or for worse
Degrading, the feeling
Our something that had worth

Deny, my love
Pretend that you're not here
But I want you, I miss you
My one thing I hold dear

It doesn't matter, what's fair in war?
The dead are gone, and we're so far from the sun

Delay the sickness
The cure is far from done
Won't let you regress
To the place we're running from
To the place we're running from
To the place we're running from
To the place we're running from
