Savior
♫ Rise Against Lyrics

It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten
I'm tormented by my inability to remember the details of the woman I once loved.

What the color of her eyes were, and her scars or how she got them
I can't recall important things about her, like the color of her eyes or how she was scarred.

As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping
I'm getting older and feeling the weight of time, and it's bringing me to tears.

Through the valleys of an aging face, that this world has forgotten
My aging face shows the wear and tear of a life forgotten by the world.

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
I know there's no way to fix the mistakes I've made or the distance that separates us.

And there is no time like the present, to drink these draining seconds
I'm aware that time is passing and I'm wasting precious moments.

But seldom do these words ring true, when I'm constantly failing you
Even though I try to make things right, I always seem to let you down.

Like walls that we just can't break through, until we disappear
The distance between us feels permanent and insurmountable, like an impenetrable wall that will only grow until we're completely separated.

If this ain't love then how do we get out?
I'm not sure what's holding us together, but I know it's not love.

Because I don't know
I don't have all the answers.

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
She's not angry or resentful towards me.

I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
She wants to help me before it's too late and we're completely separated.

That's when I told her I love you girl
My love for her is still strong.

But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, whoa, whoa
Even though I love her, I know I can't provide all the answers she's seeking.

For no man does it ever wait
Time waits for no one.

Like memories of dying days
The memories of our past seem to be fading away, like they're dying.

That deafen us like hurricanes
Those memories can be overpowering and overwhelming, like a deafening hurricane.

Bathed in flames we held the brand
We've both been scarred and burned by the flames of our past.

Uncurled the fingers in your hand
We've let go of each other's hands that we once held tightly.

Pressed into the flesh like sand
Our grip on each other was once so strong it felt like we were pressed into each other like sand.

Now do you understand?
Do you see and feel the pain that I'm going through?

One thousand miles away
We're physically separated by a great distance.

There's nothing left to say
Our conversations have become pointless and repetitive.

But so much left that I don't know
Despite having said everything, there's still so much that I don't understand.

We never had a choice
Our lives were destined to be separated, regardless of what we wanted.

This world is too much noise
We're living in a world that's chaotic and overwhelming.

It takes me under, it takes me under once again
The weight of the world is crushing me and I feel powerless to resist it.

I don't hate you
I don't feel any anger or resentment towards you.

I don't hate you no
I'm not angry at you.
