Spanning the Distance Lyrics

Spanning the distance

No words can span the distance
Between you and I
This hurt proves my existence
But its meaning I'll deny
Selfless and silent
You raise a hand to me
Beloved or a tyrant?
The downfall I cannot see
Pick me up, back on my feet for you again
Lift me up, admit defeat to you again

I am that I never was
A shell to captivate the dark
The stigma of those forever lost;
Potential of fire, lack of sparks

But I will be the mountain
You fail to climb
Forget all about them
And see me shine, in another lifetime
