One By One

There he stood in wonder
Holding the metal to his mouth
Misery swirling in his veins
Comfortable liar's one last song

Distant sounds of reality
Muffled in the background
If he could not hold life in his hands
Is he not meant for this world

The smile is priceless
The hole is jagged
They disparate in the wind

One by one
We hold onto each other
Bury the rose for the fallen

One by one
Cleansing rain falling down
Broken frames learning to grow

Severed child left behind
Building anger through the years
Met his equal outside his home
Together they spin their final web

Many faces pass through these halls
The strong building up their walls
Subtle signs of what's to come
Bright futures coming undone

The smile is priceless
The hole is jagged
They disparate in the wind

One by one
We hold onto each other
Bury the rose for the fallen

One by one
Cleansing rain falling down
Broken frames learning to grow

Imbedded within heart and mind
Emotional scar that is sure to fade
I know we all see the life gone by
By the pull of a trigger yeah

One by one
We hold onto each other
Bury the rose for the fallen

One by one
Cleansing rain falling down
Broken frames learning to grow

One by one
One by one
Oh one by one
