relief like a wave washes over me
though other emotion still leaves unease.
a weight's been lifted
the clouds have shifted,
yet masked, I still feel.

we sing their song,
and dance their dance
caught in the web of would-be truths,
but in reality only deceptions.
buried secrets, hidden lies
covered by contempt and solemn smiles.

though out of danger
I feel we are still in darkness,
the light just beyond our grasp.

we'll get through, us two
in this world of make believe.
break the surface,
touch the sky,
steal a star and with it fly.

we'll stand amidst this desolation,
we'll survive this war;
stand firm in this battlefield.

let's paint paper flowers
with the sun's light.
let's fight,
let's survive,
rise above the lies.

we'll make it through, me and you,
chase the rainbow in the rain.
