Silver Circle

(Album: audio:cinema - 2012)

The silver circle lays beside the home we used to own
The warmth that it had gathered up is scattered from the cold
I could hold your hand eternally and never see the blue return to red

The silver circle's emptiness is swallowing me whole
No part of me will ever see this ring regain its soul
What I would give to be the one to dry your tears and bring the smile back to your face
It's not my place

And I know things ain't how you planned
But I am just a man
Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs
And I know there is no excuse
But what am I to do
You're all I know and I can't let you go

The silver circle lays beside the home we used to own
The naked fingers hide inside the fist that's getting old
My muscles ache to open up, but shame is like a prison to the mind

The silver circle and its girl have never left my sight
Though they keep me on the fringe I won't go down without a fight
My heart is set, my mind is made, redemption is a shadow I will chase
I will chase

And I know things ain't how you planned
But I am just a man
Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs
And I know there is no excuse
But what am I to do
You're all I know and I can't let you go, no

The silver circle seems to laugh and sing of lessons learned
But from dust the silver rose, and back to dust it will return
Time seems like the enemy, but peace is always born to break your name
Just you wait

And I know things ain't how you planned
But I am just a man
Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs
And I know there is no excuse
But what am I to do
You're all I know and I can't let you go-o, yeah
No, I can't let you go-o
No, I can't let you go
