It used to be simple
Black and white...

A million other people stand in this very line
Feeling the exact same emotions I did each time...

You clawed away at my masks
Layer after layer had been shed...

The sky rips open as rain falls from its hole
The thunder growls and rumbles your very soul...

I was once so sure of the path I'd take
Gripping as tightly as I could onto destiny's rope...

You don't get to come back
After years of silent screams...

It all moves so slowly around me,
As if time is hesitant to move on...

The future blackened by the ashes of the past
Lit every bridge on fire before running in last...

A little dying fish,
floats farther from the shore...

Is there a reason for all the things we tend to...
Is there a purpose still lingering for me and you...

I cant wait for the night to turn to day,
For the sun to sweep me off my feet and fly me...

Like honest confessions from a compulsive liar
I set fires while dancing in the rain...
