And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me And though it's past now, and the words start to fade All the memories I have still remain I've kept all the pictures, but I hide

And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all And I hear this calling out My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove I secretly crave, crave that scent again Still feel it pressing on me now Now with the onset, my flesh is
