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
