Peace and Pain

V5.5

[Verse 1] Walk barefoot through the thorns You already know the way Some wounds become a language Some nights refuse the day You searched beneath the surface For a reason things must end But the world gave no answer Only echoes of a friend The sky is turning grey now Still, I remember the light How beautiful the fire was How brief it burned that night [Pre-Chorus] We blossom and we wither We break and rearrange Even stone can split apart And let a flower through the pain [Chorus] Push aside the mountains Let the stars look down on me Blow away the dark clouds There is still some blue in me Even if the world is empty Even if I walk alone I will lift my head toward heaven I will always find the moon Run until the clocks forget me Run until the old world ends If my tears fall while I'm moving I will carry them like friends [Verse 2] You were young when you departed Far too young to disappear Sometimes I still speak softly As if you were standing here I won't turn you into tragedy I won't make your life the end You were laughter, fear and chaos You were more than how it ended And every year keeps moving Though some dates refuse to fade I have learned that love can linger Long after someone cannot stay [Pre-Chorus] We blossom and we wither Nothing living stays the same But stubborn roots keep reaching Even underneath the rain [Chorus] Push aside the mountains Let the stars look down on me Blow away the dark clouds There is still some blue in me Even if the world is empty Even if I walk alone I will lift my head toward heaven I will always find the moon Run until the clocks forget me Run until the old world ends If my tears fall while I'm moving I will carry them like friends [Bridge] I spent so long demanding That the universe explain Why some people get tomorrow Why some names become a pain There was never any answer No equation underneath So I stopped asking permission To keep living while I grieve If you're somewhere past my vision If there's nothing there at all You still changed the shape I carry You still echo when I fall And I don't need to forget you To become somebody new Some flowers grow from sunlight Some grow because storms came through [Final Chorus] Push aside the mountains Let the whole sky look at me Tell the stars to hurry I have waited long enough to see Blow away the dark clouds There is still that blue in me Even in a ruined landscape There are things still meant to be Run until the clocks forget us Run beyond what could have been Not untouched and not unbroken Just alive enough to begin And when everything feels empty When the night consumes the room I will lift my head above it There is still the moon There is still the moon Stop searching for the answer Come and sit with me awhile You don't need to be remembered Only loved And for a moment Smile. Smile forever.
