break

I let my confidence trail behind me
Leaving whirlpools in the sand
As I walk through the valley...

I have to keep strong
I have to keep smiling at you
Hope, I know it is all that is left

We take a break behind the cover of a boulder
The sweat is burning with acrid smell
I'm so thirsty, like the desert

We sink deeper as our whirling saviour
Screeches off, disappearing in the greasy smoke
Choked skies

Not nearly enough of anything
I let you rest your fragile ruined head
My once strong shoulder shaking with sobs
(Sometimes you have to laugh to stop crying)

I let you go quietly and softly..

When they find me, I'll be silent and still
They'll weep like I had

Because I couldn't save us...
