Battleborn

I woke up on this cold, cold day
And I can't recall
Your name or your face
It's a funny thing, time
And how it works
You've gotta hurt so long
Til you don't hurt
Swirling round, all ice and snow
Make my way toward the golden glow
Every open door breathes warmth on me
Erase your words from memory

Don't need a hand to hold onto
No, no, I don't need a bed to fall into
I'll walk and walk til this road ends
And keep walking til the new begins
Quietly, I am the storm
You disappear but I'm battleborn
Quietly, I am the storm
You disappear but I'm battleborn

Heat between my hands and lips
Glass between frost ink and this
A wooden chair, an old cracked cup
Hell, I don't need two when there's only one
Solitude, it's not for the weak
What's not for you may be for me
Guileless is silence, she never lies
Oh, but broken people advertise

I don't need a hand to hold onto
And I don't need a bed to fall into
I'll walk and walk til this road ends
And keep walking til the new begins
Quietly, I am the storm
You disappear but I'm battleborn
Quietly, I am the storm
You disappear but I'm battleborn

I only carry what I must
Unfamiliar? Fuck it, I'll adjust
I'll never fear the grueling hill
'Cause moving's better than standing still
Pulling these old, worn boots back on
I keep thinking how they're different
Every time I take them off
More dust and earth, another line
These changeling boots are proof
I'm still alive
