The Toll It Takes

[00:36.10] There's a sentence they gave me
[00:41.37] Then one that remains unchanging
[00:46.49] Like skin that's burnt by frost, it'll peel if I pull away
[00:51.59] It hurts to hold or let go as I'm trying to sustain
[00:56.83] Like feeling hunger pangs and eating bone to stay alive
[01:02.05] It tears me apart inside, but it seems like the better way to get by
[01:09.00] Like a broken hourglass, they fell
[01:14.13] Cutting sand through my fingers down the deepest well
[01:20.41] I know the toll it takes
[01:22.92] But I won't let you go
[01:25.50] The past I can't replace is all that you'll ever know
[01:30.62] There is no turning back
[01:33.10] I can't fix what I broke
[01:35.64] The past I can't replace is all that you'll ever know
[01:52.60] You're a part of me that I may never be able to repair
[01:57.88] Like a lung that's collapsed
[01:59.95] I'll always know that you're still there
[02:05.72] Always surrounding my heart
[02:11.03] Even if it rejects air
[02:13.48] I know the toll it takes
[02:15.97] But I won't let you go
[02:18.69] The past I can't replace is all that you'll ever know
[02:23.83] There is no turning back
[02:26.35] I can't fix what I broke
[02:28.87] The past I can't replace is all that you'll ever know
[02:39.31] The true sentence I still face is one I brought upon myself
[02:55.06] Lost in a dark cell
[03:00.11] They said it's easiest
[03:02.54] Just to numb yourself and let go
[03:05.84] But these open wounds will forever feel fresh
[03:10.61] And I refuse to let them close yet
[03:15.86] I know the toll it takes
[03:18.26] But I won't let you go
[03:20.90] The past I can't replace is all that you'll ever know
[03:26.18] There is no turning back
[03:28.66] I can't fix what I broke
[03:31.23] The past I can't replace is all that you'll ever know
[03:41.67] I know the toll it takes
[03:44.39] But I won't let you go
