Origins

I never thought I'd find you standing before my eyes
It's breaking my preconceived notions of this life
Yet I still can't help but believe that this isn't coincidence
Now I see a new life with purpose and a different lens

I traveled through stars and time to look inside
What I found in you has changed my mind

And now I can't look back
To the way things used to be
And now the truth exposed
Challenges every belief in me

Was this worth the sacrifice
With the scars on my soul
Torn open and cold
I'm begging the sky for one more night
This is all you left me with
A small glimpse of light just enough for these
Embers in me to glow, to ignite
To ignite

If I only knew the lives we brought would be taken away and lost
If I only knew that we would leave our bones behind to rot
We will rot

Was this worth the sacrifice
With the scars on my soul
Torn open and cold
I'm begging the sky for one more night
This is all you left me with
A small glimpse of light just enough for these
Embers in me to glow, to ignite
To ignite
