lyrics

I was once of the mind that a broken heart was not a necessity
By design, it lays siege to elation forevermore
Oh, but Time, as we find one another, stirs an ancient recipe
It never fails to remove all the bonds in your reservoir

Now this heart that I thought secure
Is rent for losing you, who I've adored
But I have found a method to endure
By welding all these woes into a sword

Oh, how many times I've cried
It's been unendurable since you've died
Despair is a hurricane, with ends notorious
But I'm not afraid to sink
Or to be harrowed to the brink
I will outlive the fray, and emerge the warrior

I'll admit the allure of denial: to walk away from all the pain
I didn't care if the bleeding became internalized
But the blood in the dams of my fabrication then oxidized into a rain
Then it fell
So does grieving shiver off all disguise

Now this heart that I thought secure
Is rent for losing you, who I've adored
But I have found a method to endure
By welding all these woes into a sword

Oh, how many times
How many times

No, I'm not afraid to sink
Or to be harrowed to the brink
I will outlive the fray, and emerge the warrior
