You don't see what I'm putting up with How I am lying here with gritted teeth And a stomach full of acid Creeping its way up my throat You said you didn't want someone with a heart on his sleeve So I tore it off and it stayed where it dropped For someone so obsessed with looks It sure was easy to sew these eyes shut
Are we moving in the right direction? Someone who is strong You know I had a dream about us once And we were up on the roof I was afraid to sit on the edge But I did it any way I've listened close for any sign of moment of betrayel in your camp
But not so much as a scratch from a mouse
All I see is your power
Your strengh
Your unwavering courage
As wind billows through your tall bright banners
Always a thousand reasons why not
With only one reason why
If I never would have read your words I never would have known How you can spill black couldrons of malice, but show beauty still You can open up the sky with your words Build a storm in its belly But still feel pitty if it rains down on me
