Savior
♥Rise Against Lyrics

It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place

But seldom do these words ring true, when I'm constantly failing you

Like memories of dying days

That deafen us like hurricanes

Bathed in flames we held the brand

Uncurled the fingers in your hand
