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
