Tears are filling my eyes
I ask this pain inside me
Please explain to me why
You are burning so bright in a body so fragile
I belong to my soul
Question my heart, question my whole
Find out what these mysterious questions mean
Right now, tears are adorning my eyes
My lids are too flushed to blink
People I care about make it worse for me
People make me think.
You come in like a storm cloud
I was not aware
You sit in the corner of my soul
You are dumb yet deafening loud.
Tears are filling my eyes
I ask this pain inside me
Please explain to me why
You are burning so bright in a body so fragile.

Like a God, you looked up
Unseeing into the sky
The distance between your sight and the stars
That is how far you are away from me.
Yet, like a God, you bless my seconds
Each minute, each moment, each hour
I breathe you in, I adore you each time I blink
The distance between you and me
Matters not to you of course
To me, it is my only hope
In a world so cruel, I dug deeper to search for you
I found beauty in everything I saw,
I found you infinite layers within me.

It feels like I am walking on frozen water
With my head swung back, gracefully sliding across the ice
Smiling with my eyes closed, delicate snowflakes disappearing into my skin
All my feelings freeze, they swim through the tides of silence
Yes, I feel worthy of all of this
I deserve to own the key to the heavens
Lying down on this thick sheet of iced blue, I let the cold consume me
What a crazy dream, what a marvel, what insanity is this?
Every word I whisper shouts back at me
Echoing as if the world's a deep deep cave..

.. And everything I touch turns to undisturbed peace
Like just ice and seagulls
Just silence and peace
Yet, so so much more than what they seem to be.

If God let nature pick out its colors
I'm sure the sky would still choose blue
And the deepest depths of the ocean
Would want to stay that color too

If the mountains took to long to decide
Their peaks would turn a snowy white
And the stars in all of their glory
Would still relish the black of the night

The green, green grass of the valleys
Would not want it any other way
Just like the yellow of the morning sun
On any given day

And the leaves on the trees in the cool fall breeze
Would be any color that they like
At any given moment in time
Is when they would decide

If God let nature choose its own colors
I'm sure they would all stay the same
Because God knew what he was doing
When he created it on that special day

Secluded, isolated
Underestimated, excluded
Alienated, unsolved
Too good for you, too bad for the rest
Too happy they seem, living to pass the test
Secluded, isolated
Underestimated, excluded
Alienated, unsolved unlike the rest
Because what hides from truth and shines in darkness
Exists for the good and works miracles for the best.
