Calling out  
To the stars on a solemn night  
Weaving whispers  
Through the shadows that shun the light  
One truth  
I remind myself each day: "Hold on tight"  
Yet still I yearn to ask what’s right?  

Calm stillness  
While the flames dance all around me  
Just a breath  
Before I tumble to my knees  
A sudden quake  
The chaos swells but somehow feels so bright  
For this is my fight  

Shattered another wall, yet it still stands tall  
Scaled the highest peak, yet I’m destined to fall  
Spin me another tale so I can piece my heart together  
It’s like shifting the weather  

All the love that slipped through left me frail and meek  
Heavy clouds, vacant stares, I find it hard to speak  
Just a thread, just to weave my soul back together  
Is like changing the weather  

When all is lost  
Will I ever be found?  
On this trembling ground  
Will you hear the sound  
Of the me that drifts, never to be found?  

For it all feels  
Like changing the weather.
