Tightrope August Burns Red (Ft. Jason Richardson)

I could feel (I could feel) my heart sink
I had been pushed (I had been pushed) to the brink

Losing this conflict was all I could handle
I thought my world was ending but it was only expanding
It wasn't the emotion I thought I'd expect
"This won't happen" was engrained in my head

My absence was always my escape
I wasn't in the best place
You're owed memories I can't restore
Not stories of wayfare and folklore

My undivided attention was served in seconds
For you I had to mend them
The best parts of me were beckoning

I swallowed my fears
I'm so grateful you're here
The last two years
Would have been unbearable without you there (without you there)

I thought I bided my time too long
It turns out the timing was perfect
In the end the weight was all worth it
The brightness guided me through the fog
A constant beam of light that set my course right
