I used to tell you things would be different now They weren't I used to tell myself you would be there for me Through the moments of certain demise And when we sat up on our clouds of drifting smoke You weren't I held my breath I waited for it to come down to this? I stared into a fire that threatened to burn down the whole world or simply sputter ash till it put itself out You once help me so close That the comfort was everlasting I made promises I wouldn't keep My soul threatened to be captured by the forced that surrounded me But sometimes things need to happen In order for us to see a glimmer of light in a night with no moon

Only A Whisper Beneath Our Wings
I used to tell you things would be different now They weren't I used to tell myself you would be there for me Through the moments of certain demise And when we sat up on our clouds of drifting smoke You weren't I held my breath I waited for it to come down to this? I stared into a fire that threatened to burn down the whole world or simply sputter ash till it put itself out You once help me so close That the comfort was everlasting I made promises I wouldn't keep My soul threatened to be captured by the forced that surrounded me But sometimes things need to happen In order for us to see a glimmer of light in a night with no moon
