The silence of trenches, come take me Heave against battles, fight for my destiny Darling, I love you too much as I have seen But would you love me too if we reveal what has been? There is a story about times well spent Should we reap or should we, in ashes, repent? I am sitting in the dark, stroking my forehead I am out of ideas to even think fully ahead I don't know why—I wish I have all the answers The eyes are closing but all we get are banters In the dark, all we have is our own misery We are love, we are pain, we are adversity
I have been warned—that much I can say But I didn't listen so now sins are bright as day I've seen enough love films, wrote enough songs For me to know how to see all the wrongs But why do these emotions feel brand new? As every memory, every curve reminds me of you Darling, I asked for it but I haven't thought of the price So don't expect me to shoulder everything on the dice To a wounded heart, everything is to blame To a guilty mind, every chance is the same Now that we are at the end of our own story We are duty, we are havoc, we are adversity
After years of doing this much like this We fall, we shatter, we pick up the pieces We stare up at the sky and wonder where are the graces Where is the mercy offered at the hardest of places So far nothing has ever prepared me for pain It shouldn't be that bad but it seems love is in vain To throw myself into oceans that I avoided for years Takes so much courage just to confront the fears But I have to do it because I needed to set myself free So here I go, I look at the lens in search of glory But all I found were the truth of our own mystery That we are chaos, we are danger, we are adversity
It seems hard—to accept things just as they are You would want to fight, to last until the final hour But the facts are there—we are just too blind to see Years and years passed until it became a malady Things rot, surely feelings do too So now we are reaping trauma from who knows who Darling, we tried our best but we should stay no longer It's hard but for a certain time will make it better I know the truth so farewell I will have to offer I hope you stay safe even with this storm you'll weather If you don't see it, listen, and let me tell you clearly We are storms, we are blood—together, we are adversity
