So it begins, the ladder falls
The darkest sun, docility holds broken dolls
A deeper need, through night it sailed
No conscience breathed, obedience came crashing down
We adhered to our sins
We had to run away
I wish I could be there
But I can never find the words to say, love
It has to be that way
And I would rather see them
Embrace a life that I would have betrayed, love
It has to be that way
I don’t want to be your scar
Your strength gives in, becoming frail
Grieving’s done, this reasoning has ruined it all
A simpler deed, the past exhaled
No patience streamed, a saddened tale
Your basic fear, it sees in
We had to run away
