Song Description

Sometimes love equals loss of identity

Lyrics

In handling all this misery
We?re walking on like glass
The thickest skin becomes our second nature
And the toughest soul still fragile
When their lovers tear their scars
The thickest skin can separate like water

We wear our pain like stones that are dragging us down
And love becomes the lake in which we drown
We drown?
I sank and learned to swim
Before you flooded in

In pulling apart this mystery
The fear to face ourselves
The thickest shells are torn from all around us
And the toughest life laid open
For the world to drink it?s fill
The thickest shells can be the weakest armor
Not so easy to hide inside ourselves

Our hearts are solid as stones that are dragging us down
And love becomes the lake in which we drown
We drown?

I wonder where my secret sense is
Keeps putting my fate into your hands
Lost in the wreck of my defenses
And praying that you will understand

I?m gambling on your empathy
To bear the weight of me
Across your surface like a skipping stone
To drown within your sea

We wear our pain like stones that are dragging us down
And love becomes the lake in which we drown
Not so easy to hide inside ourselves
Love becomes the lake in which we drown
Love becomes the lake in which we drown
Keeps putting my fate into your hands
I?m putting my fate into your hands
