Would you believe from this broken
smoked-filled lung
I can create fire
between my lips and tongue?

When I was young
I caught a fleeting glimpse
of a beast inside
waiting to explode
into words and music

The beast is now a man
flawed in nature
weak and trembling

Know that the future
is carved from the bones of the past
brittle and dead
every leap you take
shatters a forgotten dream

I will never stop caring...

Should you climb the highest mountain
I will never stop caring
Should you dig the deepest hole to hide in
I will never stop caring
From across the table
or across the world
I will never stop caring
From a distance
fatigued by time and tears
I will never stop caring

If a single night can change an empire
it can surely change a man.
