Reprieve

I used to have a name that
That meant something good to me but
When did I let it fall into disrepair?

I used to know my face
When I looked in the glass but now
It's just dark and troubled

I used to think my path was
Clear and straight ahead but now
Every day's a fork in the road
And I used to hear you
And I used to know your voice
But now it's just
Dust and smoke
Dust and smoke

Remember younger days when
Time stood still for us and
All we had was love
All we had was new and
Now we're older, love
Our minds grow dark and still
Something locked away
Screams to get out

Trouble finds the best of us and it leads us on
And the days and nights are and an endless draw
Oh, and hold the blade for long enough and the fingers bleed
All we want is to live
All we want is
A damned reprieve
