Open up your little soul
Feel vulnerable to the bitter cold
A dark cave may keep you safe
But even the finest mines run out of gold
Let it go
For you were born to fly
Your wings dormant in this world
You must show you can survive
so your majestic wings may then unfurl

I curl up into a ball
buds molded in my ears
and cry to the beat of the music
My wound filled tears
I try emptying myself
Of this anguish
of this pain
of this desire
to be consumed by darkness
because I know
I truly am afraid
and no matter what you say
Baby, it won't go away.
I'm drifting
and I hear it in my head
you saying "its going to be okay"
and how all I could do
was push you away
Feeling in that exact moment
my heart beginning to break
I grab hold of my beating chest
the musics ringing now
and as the lyrics
fill my head
of a song about love saying
every word of how it feels inside
I melt
deep into the wrinkles
of my faded sheets
and lose myself a little more
just as every other time I weep.

Tell yourself to reach
one last time
stretch your arms
in one last fight
because the truth is
you can do it
as the wind sets in
blowing up the dust again
Breath it in
and as it cakes in your throat
Never stop screaming
and never stop trying
Let the tears roll down
and moisturize the pain
It will become easier to bare
Never let yourself
turn into the dust
that so eagerly
tries to consume you

You gave me a dream
Out of a run down hour glass
Thinking it was over
I almost gave up
As the sand ran empty
hope nearly gone
you reached over and flipped it
turning dusk into dawn

starting a race against time
you gave me reason to keep trying
And the bony man in black
With a scythe may be coming
But with your hand in mine
I'll boldly keep running
Because time doesn't matter
With love we'll cheat death
And this mixture we have created
Puts us one step ahead
