Take What's Left

(album: Shaped By Fire - 2019)

I took what you gave me, destroyed it all
I had to lose everything to know that I was wrong
And now I see what was true all along
A void in me now that everything is gone

(Now that everything is gone)

The emptiness can be a source of clarity
Taking away a way for us to hide
Always revealing

No choice but to rebuild
No voice, no peace, no love, no home
Nothing left to hold
Nothing left but hope

Take my broken frame
What still remains free from the chains (free from the chains)

Nothing left to hold, nothing left but hope

Like hunting for prey that we don't even need to track
So easy to follow what's next, we are left with only one path, one path

No choice but to rebuild
No voice, no peace, no love, no home
Nothing left but hope

Take my broken frame
What still remains free from the chains (free from the chains)
Take what's left in me, what's worth saving
No matter how much time it takes

From merely hope we are brought back to life
From broken bones we revive

Take what's left and create
Take what's left and then rebuild

(You had every reason to give up on me
But you stood and waited when everyone ran away)

I took your gifts, destroyed them all (destroyed them all)
And then lost everything to know that I was wrong (that I was wrong)
But you still carried me when you could barely walk (you could barely walk)
You reminded me, I was never too far gone
(Take what's left)

Take my broken frame
What still remains free from the chains (free from the chains)
Take what's left in me, what's worth saving
No matter how much time it takes
Take my broken frame
What still remains free from the chains (free from the chains)

Take what's left
Take what's left and rebuild
