Have you ever wanted to sit in silence
Absolute silence
Stare into nothing, meld with the world
Have you ever questioned your pennant
Your heart's tenant
And count the swine from your pearls
Have you ever wanted to reach out
Learn what they're about
Shoulder to shoulder, analyze
Have you ever wanted to try
While the rest of the universe dies
Count on one soul, epitomize
Well, maybe we think we know the answers
Or maybe we haven't the slightest
But the darkest hour is always near
And always following is the brightest
Some take their pleasure in the form of sin
And some with a grain of salt
Some take their pleasure from the damage within
Some would never know when they're missing out
I never begged for mercy
At least up until this point
And I would never say it outright
But I want out of this joint
In the worst way, my surroundings need to burn
And perhaps then, this town would thrive
For honor is merely a lesson learned
When the odds are against you to survive
I wish to shine.
