searching for reason
we’re guided
we follow
a desperate longing for light
«Let me go they say»
She stays still
She sheds a tear
in her dreams the world is better
without her
an open wrist
calls even stronger
no amount of healing
will ever make it better
yes there is an underside
but it’s beautiful as well
just don’t kiss it goodbye
just open your eyes
you’ll see that we have wings
greater than anything you can imagine
don’t kiss it goodbye
he lights a match
he’s hoping
he’s wishing
he’ll burn out sooner than it will
days go by
same hours
the same life
the same nothing he’s had for years
yes there is an underside
but it’s beautiful as well
just don’t kiss it goodbye
just open your eyes
you’ll see that we have wings
greater than anything you can imagine
don’t kiss it goodbye
