My Protector

Now that these wounds have healed Lead me back to the harbor You're the noble one, but I can't call you my protector Cast a thousand eyes on me And I could see into this vacuum Where we both exist, but I can't call you my protector And I have failed far better before As the hero in my own stories And while my mind can spit cobwebs and nitre My body knows you're here These days we've owed the world Seem to end without forgiveness There's a part of me that will always feel alone And you could say, all is yours where this light falls And I'm the prodigal one back again And I know I won't get what I want Just by letting go
