lyrics

I just want to be resolute
against the nighttime broken sky
hold my head up calm and true
rest my heart and just live my life
but oh how the pieces fall like rain

i just wish I could reconcile
inner peace with a starving child
to let her cry despite the blame
to let her lash out all her pain

innocent eyes blind to regret
locking the gate as i twist in the net
l live to forgive what I am dying to forget

i just can't seem to recognize
the different parts of our different lives
if all is one then what are you
if you're the sun then I want to be too
oh how the pieces lost remain

waiting for you to take over my mind
takes all of my time
i refuse to choose from what i am
what I'm willing to lose

and so guilty my hand
drags you back down to blue
haunting my plans the frightened ghost of a muse
to live to be loved leaves you feeling alone and abused
