We know what we know. We watched the world grow. And yet! And yet! There is that debt. There is that debt. Knowing doubts, bend us true. We know what we know. Lives grown apart. Sow discord in our hearts. The blows of we know what we know. The blows of who we are. What we have become. The sum. And yet! And yet! We know what we know. Together and apart. A new way to start. A new way to grow. Facing true. Me and You. Roots entangled. We are never free. Familiar as birth. Familiar as death. Let us give each other breath. Make a new start. We know what we know. We know what we know. Let it go. Let it go. Blizzards of unease begins to grow. Blizzards begins to grow. Covers the key to the heart. Do not stand apart. Do not stand apart. We’ll be blown away. Blown away. Sorry? Did I hear you say? Did I hear you say? Wipe time away. Wipe crime away. Wipe blame away. We know what we know. We know what we know. The broken self. The token self. The Phoenix flown. Dashed to the taste of ash. All we have left. All we have left. The mystery that is gone. The mystery once so strong. And yet! And yet! Certainty stores silence. Certainty alone. Stories burnished and bronze from the truth. We have joined our fate. We have joined our fate. Never too late. Never too late. Our hand press and wait. What do we hold? What do we hold? Pick apart. Pick apart. What we once knew. What we once held true. Together and apart. A new vision. A new start. We know what we know. We know what we know. Let it grow. Let it grow.

I liked the way you've
I liked the way you've written it in a block - it's fast pace and train-on-the-track rhythm adds emotion and urgency. Would be great read outloud.
