The Price

Open my chest
Exposed and raw
The slightest whisper
A dagger to my core
There is nothing to be done
Just breathe in the love
And the pain

This is the price
To truly live
This to watch it die
And not turn away

This is the price
To truly live
To truly live
And this is to not turn away

Damned my eyes
My watched step away
Be my eyes
Damned my eyes
Damned my eyes
And I’ve watched step away
Slip away

I am guilty I am the wound
This world can be
So unkind
Can leave scars to prove

This is the price
To truly live
This to watch it die
And not turn away

This is the price
To truly live
To truly live
And this is to not turn away

I won’t turn away
In this life
Or the next
Heaven, help me
To stay awake

I won’t turn away
In this life
In the next
Heaven, help me
And I won’t turn away
I won’t turn away
