Sentimental Proof

From tears we rejoice
Love's past sorrow cries low beneath my voice
Sounds from within, muffled dissonant torture, but as past times die new fires smolder

Bring back that fire that beats in my chest
That dark cold place had been beaten to death
But something has sparked it's tiny ticks within
I've been shredded apart, but I'd do it all again

This is what I've been missing
An end to my wishing
This cost of living, I keep reminiscing
I need your courage to keep from despair
Your kiss is warm, comfort cool as air

Without love we cannot repair

Inspired by desire, fear tames the fire
Love's bright fluorescent moon
My heart's not a liar, this feeling's required to avoid the impending gloom

Bring back that fire that beats in my chest
That dark cold place had been beaten to death
But something has sparked it's tiny ticks within
I've been shredded apart, but I'd do it all again

This is what I've been missing
An end to my wishing
This cost of living, I keep reminiscing
I need your courage to keep from despair
Your kiss is warm, comfort cool as air

Without love we cannot repair
Is love just another way light stays absent in the dark
So is pain the real way to light the flames from a spark
Or is it just a machine with blades to leave deep scarred marks

Let me be blanketed in truth
Cover me in sentimental proof
You were made so my old ways would fade, and a bright new life ensues

Bring back that fire that beats in my chest
That dark cold place had been beaten to death
But something has sparked it's tiny ticks within
I've been shredded apart, but I'd do it all again

This is what I've been missing
An end to my wishing
This cost of living, I keep reminiscing
I need your courage to keep from despair
Your kiss is warm, comfort cool as air
