[Verse 1]
You are the burning embers
Of a million scars
I feel the cold steel blade of the wars you waged
The pain I can't disregard
[Verse 2]
Underneath the surface
Just below my skin
I feel this wrenching pain
When I hear your name
From the shame that I let you in
[Chorus]
Shifting seasons
You are the knife, the wound and the scars
The killing reason
It reminds me who we are
Is all that we are
All that we are?
[Verse 3]
The photographs are empty
Once I could only see your face
Now all that I see stretching out from me
Is the nothingness turned to waste
[Verse 4]
Once I would have called you
As I trace these steps unknown
Through the wind that chills
I am bleeding still
I will do this on my own
[Chorus]
Shifting seasons
You are the knife, the wound and the scars
The curious reason
The cost to great to far
If all that we are is
All that we are
[Bridge]
At twilight's edge
I have seen the dead
In these memories of mine
Where shadows fall
When voices can't call
In these memories of mine
I have seen the end
The rapture's a gift my friend
In these memories of mine
[Outro]
You are the scars
You are my scars
The shifting season
The killing reasons
If all that we are is
All that we are
