But then we cry with no tears
and we scream with no voice
How do we run with no space
and walk away while in the same place?
We hide in plain view
and choke while breathing
can our heart stop and keep beating
can the rain fall and never touch ground
can the cut burn with no bleeding
can we win without succeeding
will there ever be healing from pain unreeling?
The silence is so loud
the laughter so silent
the tear drop so resilient
to the happy smile shielding it
Will there be love and no hope
or faith with no rope
If the sun never rises
It'll never set over open horizons
so when the darkness is too bright
and the wrong seems right
and the good becomes bad
no more will we allow ourselves to be sad
happy are the few who see it
happy are the ones who defeat it
