  • If you see me losing ground
    Don't be afraid to lie
    I know the pain inside my heart
    Can't break the fear inside of yours
    And if you see me losing faith in what it means to die
    Don't let me leave before I know what lies beyond the stained-glass doors

    Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
    Bleed every care out

    Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
    With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
    When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
    Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

    For every word we never spoke,
    We have a tear to cry
    For every silence's like a wall between a better you and I
    So if you see me losing sight of all the death and life
    Find the peace in every time I fail to see the death in mine

    Let all the fear inside you drown
    Tear out the blade that let you down
    Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
    Bleed every care out

    Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
    With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
    When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
    Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

    Oh all the blood is rushing out
    Oh I'm better off without
    Oh the walls are closing in
    Oh sing for me again

    Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
    With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
    When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
    Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

    Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
    With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
    When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
    Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain Writer/s: DON CLARK, RYAN CLARK
