lyrics

I'll tell you a story and paint you a picture of how we fell,
In pursuit of the highest heights,
The highest heights
and he read

(I am stricken and I am the blow)
Fingers pointing at me, and it's all I can do to be alright now and
(I am stricken and I am the blow)
Fingers pointing at me as I clutch at the pieces, tumbling down and
(I am stricken and I am the blow)
Try and keep this momentum and we will break these walls down

Besides or above me, naught is there to go
(love, I can't help you now)
Love or unlove me, unknow me or know
(what you said to me it)
I am that which loves me and unloves
(struck down into the heart of me)
I am stricken and I am the blow
(I am the blow)

It's about that time again,
I have some demons to,
To lay to rest,
To put myself to the test, to find out all over again
(and it's alright, it's alright)
all over again
all over again
all over again
(and it's alright, it's alright)

Besides or above me, naught is there to go
(love, I can't help you now)
Love or unlove me, unknow me or know
(what you said to me it)
I am that which loves me and unloves
(struck down into the heart of me)
I am stricken and I am the blow
(I am the blow)
