Pillars

Face the days ahead

Watch the pillars where they stand

From the days behind

Mortar crumbles in my hands

I can't give up

I can't look down

I'll hold this roof above our heads

I can't give up

I can't look less than enough

I'll hold this weight forever

Passing time till stars burn out

Pull back the veil

Face the days ahead

Watch the pillars where they stand

From the days behind

Mortar crumbles in my hands

I can't give up

I can't relax

Oh these pillars break my back

It goes to show

Will we ever know

Just how long is forever?

You can see the change

Stars turn into dust

It's innocuous

Face the days ahead

Watch the pillars where they stand

From the days behind

Mortar crumbles in my hand
