A Moment's Worth

The Surgeon
I'll cut deeper into you with each careful incisionI'll cut away the tissue and excess pieces of youI've taken up medicine and I've forgotten What a full night of sleep means just to bring back what I can'tJust to find out that I'm cutting at the surfaceAnd still I hold my head up high and tell myself I'll fix youI close my eyes and turn my head away from what's left of youI will not let go until I'm sure that you are(As we breathe our lives awayWe hold on to what we feel we can't replace)There's no excuse because this life is in my handsThough shaking helplessly, they must cut with precisionI hear "it's useless" whispered many times inside my headThere's no excuses, I'm responsible, not themAs we breathe our lives awayWe hold on to what we feel we can't replaceAs we breathe our lives away, as we breathe awayJust breathe in one more timeI swear that I could save your lifeAnd still I hold my head up high and tell myself I'll fix youI close my eyes and turn my head away from what's left of youI will not let go until I'm sure that you are deadAs I breathe my life away, I hold on to you From Letras Mania
