left in the shadows of my old bed
a million things racing through my head
nothing ever living that I'd want to trust
and nothing that ain't dying ever turned to dust
forgotten secrets never understood
smile at the face of the one you should
its part of the grand design of things
a hidden chapter of the caged bird sings
nothing left to say but the barest of lies
something to be broken on the barest of tries
yet stay the hand as is reaches the end
stop the mission before it should end
keep the dream inside alivea moment more
leave a light from the crack in the door
blow out the torch before the bridges burn
hold on and surrender as the time does turn
brush aside your fearas though it killed you
remember the things that you would never do
and wash away the tears on your face
as though they belong frozen in place
