Duality of Man

I am become death and I am struggling
Melting
Running from the wave of mutilation 'cause I felt it
Deep inside my belly
Is a fire burning steadily
The heat sweltering and now I am helpless
Help me

Sitting on the front steps
Living in the back of my mind
Like the young folk do
Something like a chill up in my spine
I'm just losing all precesion
Waiting up on you
Needn't I remind you that
You are not alone in this world
I was there beside you
Carrying you through the dirt
Walking on that broken glass
Leave a bloody trail
Leading down the path
Watching as the hours pass
Sand filling up my lungs
Buried in another past
This is where it all went wrong
Tried to serenade you with my own swan song
Nothing like a ticking time bomb
Your energy's all gone
The love is just all we'll ever have

I told the truth
It's all for you
I'll be there
And I meant that
When all is lost
Before you fall
I'll be there, I swear
And I meant that
I told the truth
It's all for you
I'll be there
And I meant that
When all is lost
Before you fall
I'll be there, I swear
And I meant that

Call me on the road
Call me any time
Call me when you're laying up at night
When I'm on your mind
I can tell you wanna see my name in the bright lights
Big city dreaming of the day that we get it right
Hoping I never see the day that I walk away
Giving away everything that we had ever dared to make
I know that it hurts sometimes
When you think about
Everyone we loved and lost on the way down
Oh, if you could see
The truth in me
It might make you wanna stay
But the truth as we
May know could be
Subjective in any way
Oh the teeth that ripped
A hole in you
Are chipped and stained grey
But if they could see
The fruit, the trees
It might make them wanna pray

I told the truth
It's all for you
I'll be there
And I meant that
When all is lost
Before you fall
I'll be there, I swear
And I meant that
I told the truth
It's all for you
I'll be there
And I meant that
When all is lost
Before you fall
I'll be there, I swear
And I meant that
