steel yourself

living loss to loss with only fear in between

waiting for the next rug to be pulled from my feet

let it go

you can't fear what you don't know

so make do and stop your grieving

just steel yourself

it's all you have and nothing else

oh

when everything is fleeting

oh

i never thought that i'd be this way

preemptive regret is a coward's burden

rendered immobile by crisis aversion

how long will i be like this?

how long can one man last?

missing the moment before the moment has passed

try to make the moment last

let it go

you can't fear what you don't know

so make do and stop your grieving

just steel yourself

it's all you have and nothing else

oh

when everything is fleeting

oh

i never thought that i'd be this way

now i'm afraid that it's too late

too late for me

i've made my own purgatory

through worrying and ignoring

the good in my life

i can't endure

i tried to make the moment last

but it's slipping through my fingers

like the sand in the glass

a constant reminder

i have no control

let it go

you can't fear what you don't know

so make do and stop your grieving

just steel yourself

it's all you have and nothing else

oh

when everything is fleeting

steel yourself

you can't ignore

steel yourself

learn to endure
