Cloaked in blackness are the things we aim to share Caught behind the traps of language and a dead pan stare Waiting on the other side is that connection we so longingly seek Still it feels, no matter how we try, our final attempts seem to reek Of imperfections, lost connections, and the balancing of opinions All the inane fights the arguments but we're not even trying to win them We're only asking to be heard A desire that after, trial and error, seems so absurd So back into the shadows we return to dwell Traumatized by both the failure and feeling jailed Feeling jailed inside our own selves All those hopes and desires going back on their shelf Like pictures of dream vacations as wallpapers on lock screens Motivation to keep on working until the day you have the means Perpetuating the hope that, at some point, that day will come Chasing a moment when all of this chasing can finally be done (Finally) [Musical Break] [Chorus] Hang on to it Cause it could end in a flash That's not foreboding thinking It's simply fact So there's no reason to fear What's real (don't get it twisted) Each breath is an opportunity To decide how you'll live it [Verse 2] These words have always been my friends, my family When no one else is around they comfort me Cause no matter where I am I can always find a page Pick up a pen to express joy, sorrow, or rage Sometimes they're even dreamy Illustrating the scene of an evening Dark skies and the stars stretched over the sand Reminiscing of when we used to walk, hand in hand. The wind rustles your clothes and caresses your face You know that she's out there, a hope that can't be replaced She disappeared without a word, leaving a chasm in your heart And so you started this journey so you'd no longer be apart Despite your greatest efforts Weathering the scorching heat and the weather (to be together) You haven't even caught a glimpse of the face you desperately miss But there's a fire burning in your chest that can't be quenched (carry on) [Chorus] It's a choice we make Every day. Do we stand or fold Will you stand and be bold (Say, "I'm here") Will you drink it all in Even if it's from behind tears Or what they call sin To find your piece of peace within [Musical Break] [Bridge] Find that thing Something, anything (big or small) That sends shivers through your skin Makes you grin or bawl Whatever it is I hope you find it Grab a hold of it, don't resign it 'Cause that's yours, it's free And you might need it as much as you need to breathe [Musical outro]
