I just wanted to find the beautiful
I looked through every crack
I peered through every hole
Every flower that may have bloomed
Now stood only ash
I wanted to see the beauty
Mountains covered with grass
To look out and see the ocean
Like window panes of glass
The broken bits inside of me
They puncture through and through
There is no wound that's left behind
At least not that you can see
I wanted to watch the sunset
To feel it on my face
But all I feel is icy cold
From every broken night
I wanted to sing so loudly
The words that mean the world to me
I wanted to feel anything
But this pain, it still resides
This beauty isn't all around
And it breaks my heart so quietly
As long as you never see
The depth of darkness inside of me
I just wanted to find the beautiful
But it was always taken right in front of me
Like a thief, every single night
I just wanted to find the beautiful
But not this endless fight
