Savior

(álbum: Appeal To Reason - 2008)

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy.
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have."

And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"

One thousand miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world has too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"

I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
