The stretched out time we endure
Is coated in the silence of unspoken words...

Morning has broken
There's no afternoon...

People come and go
A cacophony of murmurs...

It's dark in my mind
And I only want to hide...

I'm an angel but that's not
Always what people see...

She was stuck on endless possibilities
Staring at the knife in her hand...

She was promised he'd be there forever
But he put her out and pushed her down...

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear
Tales of joy ringing off the rooftops...

Life is a gamble
Risks and all...

Each of us has a flame so bright
And we each have a choice...
