"Delicate" lyrics

You're delicate
But you're covered in thorns
And you'll lock horns with the
Heaviest of them
Like a battering ram through a cast iron wicket

But you don't dare look back
You move forward you keep it on track
But you're delicate
Yeah, you're delicate

I see the edge
To clear my head
I dive right in
I sink or swim
But time runs thin
Each second slips
Away with every breath

What's coming after?
If we should falter
What to hold on to?
Don't tell me now

That you're willing to forget a dream
That you're open to the emptiness
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Bitter thoughts and of penitence

Of a man who could forsake a dream
Of a man who sought out emptiness
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Bitter thoughts and of penitence

You're delicate
Like a bottle of wine in a bar room brawler
Bring em crashing down
Like the hammer of thor on a brass bar railing

And though you're smashed apart
You grow sharper, you're piercing hearts
You're delicate
Yeah, you're delicate

What's coming after?
If we should falter
What to hold on to?
Don't tell me now

That you're willing to forget a dream
That you're open to the emptiness
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Bitter thoughts and of penitence

Of a man who could forsake a dream
Of a man who sought out emptiness
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Bitter thoughts and of penitence

So you're willing to forget a dream?
So you're open to the emptiness?
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Of a hundred wonderings why we lost it all
We let it go
We let ourselves
Forsake our dreams
And let our hearts seek emptiness

Don't tell me now

That you're willing to forget a dream
That you're open to the emptiness
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Bitter thoughts and of penitence

Of a man who could forsake a dream
Of a man who sought out emptiness
Of a thousand days and nights of shame
Bitter thoughts and of penitence
