Judgement is offered without being asked for, Just remember that. Vyscern To be a good judge of character You gotta see further than the books front cover You have to look deeper, must find meaning Between the pages and the paragraphs and what it is you're seeing Know that every page number is another day on scene Know that pages are stained from the blood we bleed Know that pages crumple with the words unspoken And know each new chapter is a lifetime token Some may label "money", "corruption", "greed" But know you can help swiftly as Godspeed They opened up to you and it's up to you to see That crazy times make people do crazy things I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound She opened up to me, for strangers advice Is easier to get than from others in your life There's no fear of judgement, disappointment, or people Who like to spill secrets that are too dark and evil I looked in the mirror and it became see-through Not a reflection of myself just Myself Mark 2 It's funny how that works, the lies we pursue The hope that something worse will surely make a better you Know that the engravings on each book spine Is a scar from the past, another mark in time As you run your fingers you ask "where is the beauty?" If you look past the cover you may finally see I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound I can't tell you how to run your life But I tell you it's dangerous to run with knives Maybe you don't care because pains the prize Trust me, it's a trap that'll **** you as you fly Icarus himself fell from the clouds And plummeted to the ocean, an arrow straight down I will help you surely as Jesus Christ Has been told from three days to come back to life So I may die, but that's okay With wax wings I flew too high anyway The pain is a trap that'll **** you as you fly And I'm not ready to ready another goodbye I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound I will hold out for you Talk to me, make me see Convince me that its true That it's not worth helping you I'm just holding out the hope, Standing still as I reel against the ropes Tell me how long til I fall down Weightless as a feather, gone without a sound

For every denial of beauty, I will say that you are beautiful until it is ingrained that I love you
