Is there a future's truth
For a pair of hopeless youth
Unopened doors that I've never explored
Could there really be a reward?
I have false faith
And stupid belief
But I know you'll disappear without a trace
Do you know not of your great worth?
For she has seen it since birth
I cannot compare
No I wouldn't dare
They will always stare
It will always be unfair
Why do you want someone far below
Who cannot go wherever you go?
You deserve more
But selfishly I won't open that door
As I lay here crying on the floor
I know the truth
Of hopeless youth
It barely bends
And always breaks
This is the feeling I cannot shake
Put me out
For heaven's sake
Hell, give me faith.
If not, then give me stones to clean my face.
How iron-bound we are to ourselves.
Chained like animals in small cells.
To find a song, to find a reason.
To change our hearts and give us a warm season.
No slave is forked tongued,
cause we know all to well
what it's like to get gunned.
These chains keep me sane,
yet they keep me away
from words I need to say.
The things I'd like to do,
to give you smiles for all the times I've thought of you.
A happiness I find missing
and it only leaves me wishing
I could do more.
I want to bless thee with a shoulder,
and hands to dry your tears.
But all I want, could never be,
because I know you don't want me.
For now I'm left in chains,
at the very least,
I'll keep some demons away.
