Limbs - Vertigo

I carry my father in this box
A pillar of paralyzing loss
A set of broken shoulders
I'm older, but can’t forget the cost of hanging in the fray
Here comes a second wave
Lower my head, hold my breath, and keep me underneath
Come down from your tower
I can’t cower behind it all
I'm ready for the fall

We disengage, paying for death from within
Give me the strength to let me start again
Swallowing blood and pride
Set aside and divide my father’s permanencе

And you won’t be there in thе end
For me to let you down again
We’re spiraling down while looking up
You were my only friend

It’s taking its toll on me
Unable to see, only born to bleed
You kept me safe and immersed me in quiet strength
In hopes of better days
I know you’re not in pain, but it was all too late
The family dies and the child fades
Come down from your tower
I can’t cower behind it all
I'm ready for the fall

We disengage, paying for death from within
Give me the strength to let me start again
Swallowing blood and pride
Set aside and divide my father’s permanence

And you won’t be there in the end
For me to let you down again
We’re spiraling down while looking up
You were my only friend

You were my only friend
Follow in your steps, wasted moments left
We’re fading faster than we can mend

And you won’t be there in the end
For me to let you down again
We’re spiraling down while looking up
You were my only friend
And you won’t be there in the end
For me to let you down again
We’re spiraling down while looking up
You were my only friend

You were my only friend
And we could never mend
