Work Text:
The words are all here, there's
No need to voice them by now
We know them by heart
We see past our leers yet still
Keep them up
Keep this up
Winding up
Back at the start
How are my words worth any good
If they can't calm your fears?
And how are my hands meant to soothe
While holding back all these years?
So I'm heading back
Running back
To you
Hoping while this lasts
You'll run to me too
Was there no time
Or was it too tough to consider?
In the final fight
Was it just about the sinner?
If you would please
Lift those broken windows
So that maybe
I can find the answers
To why we weren't
What we were
And why things are
In ways they aren't
