I miss how she smiled
How she saw the world Whispers of laughter As she danced and she twirled I’ll ever remember the easy appeal In confusion, now watch the mirage disappear. She daydreamed of wonder Life’s beautiful hour Each moment’s adventure Each capture a flower She tried to abandon the heartache; surreal But apparent is now how this world isn’t clear Always thinking of answers Each problem she solves Could not stop if she tried While hope slowly dissolves In the silence she needs the pain just to feel Unfolding the secrets; something beyond fear I can see dented pride Yet she stumbles ahead A long uphill battle The war raging instead She itches at scars gained from every ordeal Never before has the ache been so severe The noises, the voices Tunnel vision it seems Everything; Anything Hurdling emotional beams For now she has lost her once precious zeal The forgiveness of Saints becoming austere Through brutality; fact The delirium sane I’ve inferred the absurd An extraordinary mundane Through the lies she sees truth; the imagery real The rage against the dying of light is near Every storm must subside Sometimes dreams are delayed Power made perfect In weakness, some say But rattled or not, she’s refusing to kneel As she sees the reset button appear An absolute truth To the wings of forever The cyclone dies down Poetical ties she will sever To know this is reason; the greatest reveal For in darkness steps forth the lyrical engineer.

Some say I’m blind to the reasons they give to me
Some say I’ll find just another excuse I say I’m fine; won’t believe what they say to me I’m not unkind or try to hide the truth Just tell me why you believe that I fell so far Surprisingly calm I sit and contemplate Finding the lines have blurred and now I just hide behind The fairy tale world that you have tried to create But as the sun rises I now open my eyes Chorus: The shoulders we cry on The burdens we bear tonight Get lost in the fire of the dreams that must die The path unforgiving But views make life worth living I stand high on the mountains of my unending faith Tonight I feel invisible but I’m invincible. As soon as there’s peace, then there is war; we must fight As soon as I rest, I now must push ahead Driven to feel as if there’s nothing here left for me Driven to fall and yet I feel so misled But walking this path I find that I’m touching miracles Reaching the sky it seems so endlessly Sorting through lies, more than I thought ever possible Ready to finally be just perfectly me And as the sun rises, I now open my eyes Chorus So here I now fly from the tops of the waterfalls A shooting star launched after a broken heart Silencing fears, now back to where I belong Drying my tears, making a brand new start I accept that I may be traveling life myself A journey of healing with my own gentle hands But don’t mistake the solitude now for loneliness I’m ready for faith to help unveil these new plans As the sun rises, I have opened my eyes Chorus So as the sun rises, I now open my eyes I’m not invisible, I’m just invincible. |
