Verse 1:
what once burned so violent in your heart.
is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you.
what you embrace is what you become.
and I can see in your face the things used to run from.
Bridge 1: Eb-E-F#-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-E-F#-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-E-E-E-E (Play twice)
Verse 2:
so much to belong to, so much to pursue
so much to consume, so much to consume you
you will get burned when you touch a flame
I guess you've learned that from the pain.
Bridge 2:
bare you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?
all alone in a world that left you cold.
Solo:

Chorus:
as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another
brother to brother, if you lose your grip.
and as air is to a fire, so we will be to each other
one to another, if I start to slip, slip, slip, slip.
Verse 1:
what once burned so violent in your heart.
is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you.
what you embrace is what you become.
and I can see in your face the things used to run from.
Bridge 2:
are you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?
all alone in a world that left you cold.
