Who We Are

You only feel it when it's lost Getting through still has a cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers love Falling from you drop by drop What I had left here I just held it tight So someone with your eyes Might come in time To hold me like water Or Christ Hold me like a knife We're born at night So much of our lives Is just carving through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are It's who we are You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else's dream How can something be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems Darling we sacrificed We gave our time to something undefined This phantom life It sharpens like an image But it sharpens like a knife We're born at night So much of our lives Is just carving through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are It's who we are You only feel it when it's lost Getting through still has its cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers love Falling from you drop by drop
