Bearer

There's something against me

I feel it and I fight

But it is bound there like the day is bound to night

It struggles against me

Yearns to be inside

Feeding off fear and weakness that I've tried to hide

CHORUS     The only thing you gave me

                     Will be mine forever more

                     The remnant of a whisper that

                     Will never be more

                     But will never cease to be

There was a promise

Made winged on your sighs

Now I realize it was made up of lies

Your body beside me

Your head on my chest

Are nothing but bitter memories now that you have left

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE     I hold to hope like I hold to life

                   I hold to life like you hold to night

CHORUS II     The only thing you gave me

                        Will be mine forever more

                        The remnant of a whisper that

                        Will never be more

                        Fooled by empty promises and I believed

                        But you were my cancer, baby

                        You are this disease

                        That will never cease to be

                        That will never cease to be
