Save Your Sorrow

We rifled through the bargain bin
Took a vacation from our skin
It was such a way to spend the day
Just waiting for a new one to begin 

There’s no redemption that I seek
No consolation I can speak
To myself or you, what’s left to do
But call the future what it is, it’s bleak

So who’s gonna take the oath
And who’s gonna take the vow
Whatever fight you got left
The time is now

Save your sorrow, save your grief
It can’t help you now, no not at all
Save your sorrow, keep your belief
There are many banners yet to fall

There was no ceiling to the sky
Just the conviction we could fly
But our wings are clipped, the balance tipped
To barely having strength enough to try

Someday the memories I save
Will hit me like a tidal wave
I’d sooner drown than look around
And realize that I took more than I gave
