You were always handcuffed to a milestone
How you lasted so long I won't know
Cancer has a way of taking victims
And I have a nature to ignore
So as we run further from the center
I'll sit here stunned, I was the dissenter
A stab to the back and a slit to the throat
How do I get back into your arms?
All along you knew I was just holding your hand long enough to warm my own
Busy bees forget that they have stingers
Selfish men forget they have a home
So as we run further from the center
I'll sit here stunned, I was the dissenter
A stab to the back and a slit to the throat
How do I get back into your arms?
I hurt, what of you?
I paid my price
How do I get back into your arms?
