things we lost in the fire

the need to see yourself in someone else
the need to search for what is left
the need to push and force each breath
the need to put this all to rest

things we lost in the flood

you'll never know just what its like
to watch your life get up and walk away
with nothing that you can do
this time can't be replaced
let this wash away
maybe another day...
another time....
another way...
another life...
another chance to take or leave behind
another choice too late to change your mind
another hit you take that helps you fly
another broken dream I held so tight
another reason not to stand and fight
another step away from the light
I hope you kill what's been killing you....
because either way killing me too
bid farewell and wave
whatever you do don't look back that way
