Lyrics for Skeleton of Splendor

You reached two hands outward Two birds spreading our wings Today's arms turn numb When I turn it inward We live and breathe all your thousand words Now you sleep, we'll finish your work To my detriment To my detriment To my detriment (I forge ahead unscarred) To my detriment You painted us with effort Always praising us high The day has come to face the storm As lightning strikes me in two We live the dream onward as it were Endless days we'll carry on as one There's no doubt of what we're here to do You laid it out A promise of yourself To my detriment To my detriment (I forge ahead unscarred) To my detriment (I forge ahead unscarred) To my detriment To my detriment (I forge ahead unscarred) To my detriment (I forge ahead unscarred) To my detriment (I forge ahead unscarred) To my detriment
