lyrics

Words Cure
Every milestone marks an accomplishment.
Every pebble, every stone, a tripwire.
Wording the trial, words are a trial, of which you never learn.
The lesson, through words.
Who measures the victory?
It lasts, the healing, is never known.
The words that hurt also cure.

Call this a milestone – but this is not a milestone.
Call this accomplishment – but this is not accomplishment.

Not an inch between us, yet truth it tears us apart.
Words felt now wounded, all words are in the dark.
Progress and improvement, on the needed.
Sweetness stops by in stories. We are too mislead.

Words hurt. Words heal. Words cure.
Words they hurt, and words they heal, and words they cure
…But these are the words that we use when we say what we feel.

Oh what can words cure?
We – are too. We are too mislead.

Oh what can words cure?
(But what is it worth when the words fall? Short, the words they always fall so).
Plans, obstacles, words.
Words – cure - words.
(Try. Try. All I can do is)
This pebble, this splinter.
I pause, I correct, I repair.
