the toll it takes

Lyrics

there's a sentence they gave me, then one that remains unchanging, like skin that's burnt by frost, it'll peel if i pull away, it hurts to hold or let go, as i'm trying to sustain, like feeling hunger pangs and eating bone to stay alive, it tears me apart inside but it seems like the better way to get by, like a broken hourglass they fell, cutting sand through my fingers down the deepest well, i know the toll it takes, but i won't let you go, the past i can't replace, is all that you'll ever know, there is no turning back, i can't fix what i broke, the past i can't replace, is all that you'll ever know!, you're a part of me that i may never be able to repair, like a lung that's collapsed, i'll always know that you're still there, always surrounding my heart, even if it rejects air, i know the toll it takes, but i won't let you go, the past i can't replace, is all that you'll ever know, there is no turning back, i can't fix what i broke, the past i can't replace, is all that you'll ever know!, the true sentence i still face, is one i brought upon myself, lost in a dark cell, they said it's easiest to just numb yourself and let go, but these open wounds will forever feel fresh, and i refuse to let them close yet, i know the toll it takes, but i won't let you go, the past i can't replace, is all that you'll ever know, there is no turning back, i can't fix what i broke, the past i can't replace, is all that you'll ever know!, i know the toll it takes, but i won't let you go
