your name is a silent word on my lips
because i'll never call you
after all the times i've lived
through the same thing before you

your name is the softest thing
that i have ever heard
oh, how i wish it wouldn't
make my heart hurt

and after everything,
and even despite anything,
you still have every right to be happy.
remember that.

but you see -
she has
a tendency
to be silent
when it gets
real loud
inside her head.

A thousand nights I would wait for you.
The one, I seek through you.
From him I ask for you.

Patience he says the dawn is near.
Oh lovers, for now, patience your prayer.
Patience he says, till dawn is here.

My mind is selfishly, unrelentingly strangling my will
