Verse 1:
what once burned so violent in your heart.
is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you.
what you embrace is what you become.
and I can see in your face the things used to run from.

Bridge 1: Eb-E-F#-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-E-F#-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-E-E-E-E (Play twice)

Verse 2:
so much to belong to, so much to pursue
so much to consume, so much to consume you
you will get burned when you touch a flame
I guess you’ve learned that from the pain.

Bridge 2:
bare you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?
all alone in a world that left you cold.

Chorus:
as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another
brother to brother, if you lose your grip.
and as air is to a fire, so we will be to each other
one to another, if I start to slip, slip, slip, slip.

Verse 1:
what once burned so violent in your heart.
is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you.
what you embrace is what you become.
and I can see in your face the things used to run from.

Bridge 2:
are you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?
all alone in a world that left you cold.

Intro: Eb

Verse 1:
pull the wool from my eyes, sensitize me.
cut the cancer from inside, purify me.
send your cleansing rain, saturate me.
burn away this pain, drench and drain me.

Eb-F-F#-F (Play 4 times)

Verse 2:
place beneath this still sky
only reflecting its pale blue
so imperfect in contrast
and yet continue to do the things we do.

Eb-Eb-E (Play 4 times)

Eb-F-F#-F (Play 4 times)

Verse 3:
set ablaze this garden
ignited by sulfurous pride
cauterized creation
when will we feel the burning inside?

Verse 1:
pull the wool from my eyes, sensitize me.
cut the cancer from inside, purify me.
send your cleansing reain, saturate me.
burn away this pain, drench and drain me.
ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
