[Lyric] Mourn the Living (Red Morrow)

[Verse]
Don't want to lose these pieces I've fought for
The way we were will never be

Pride has taken me under
I'll never try and never see

Lost in motions so thoughtless
The lessons learned have gone to waste

Life departed beyond us
The sympathy for which I slave

[Verse]
Hold me down for all I've done wrong
I'm not the man you thought

Strip me bare for all the world to see
I can't pretend to be

Hanging my hopes, uncertain horizons
Only fear is at the wheel
Smile just for a moment
Let them fight to claim what's real

I've been hiding for lifetimes
No one feels the weight I bear

Insatiable longing
You'll never know and never care

[Verse]
Hold me down for all I've done wrong
I'm not the man you thought

Strip me bare for all the world to see
I can't pretend to be

[Verse]
Jaded by design
Can't control what waits for me

Take it all in stride
For whatever is will be
