Four Letter Word


In the wrong hands it's a killer
But for noble hands a light
And with every ounce of worship
Comes the darkest winter night

With your bridges bound by heartstrings
Still detached from what was said
In these phrases that were whispered
All to burn themselves instead

Can we make it last for one more round?
Can't fake it, buried in the ground
I know it's still the thought that counts
Go on now let it out, just let it out
Now let it out

Though this weapon can't disfigure
It still affects what's coming in
And you won't even get to feel it
Until it's underneath your skin

It's what so many here will die for
And what others still hold close
Under white sheets with their lovers
Watching two shells form a ghost

Can we make it last for one more round?
Can't fake it, buried in the ground
I know it's still the thought that counts
Go on now let it out, just let it out
Now let it out

I've heard it said too many times
I never thought I'd cross that line
Fake hearts depart this Valentine
Will you be mine? Will you be mine?

Can we make it last for one more round?
Can't fake it, buried in the ground
I know it's still the thought that counts
Go on now let it out, just let it out
Now let it out

It's the sweetest of sorrows
But still the cause of your doubts
It divides and it conquers
So let it out, just let it out
