There's no chance in this life
to the find the truth, to fix this strife
for the sun does set, in the midday sky
for behind this smile, my heart does hide.
It digs the moat, it builds the wall
actually praying that they'll never fall.
For there's pain out there,
too much for the heart to bare.
So deeper down it goes,
hiding in the darkness of the hole,
but it catches a glimpse of a smile up there
starting to climb to see a light so fair.
But the smile fades by the end of the day
causing the climbers strength to fade away
did it climb too fast, was the pace not at fault?
Either way, the climb up came to a halt.
With nothing left above to see
the deeper it digs out of curiosity
but even the heart as its own memory;
a "what if" in life that just wasn't meant to be.
Its become too late to answer the IF
the wall's too high, the moat's become a cliff
time's passed by, the climber has grown weary
its time the heart realizes, its as good as buried.
