Gossamer

So should the sky fall tonight

I pray we’ll see the light

Somewhere at the end of a tunnel

Like a fire burning bright

I know we’ve missed our flight

But two wrongs don’t make it right

And every time we sit off in silence

I still wonder why we fight.

I still wonder what we’ve done

With all the heartless words we flung

While the only way we express how we care

Is to judge all we did wrong

When did the tune leave our song?

When did the air leave our lung?

When did the promises begin to mean nothing?

Or was it like this all along

I can’t recall; I can’t tell

My heart drowned as I fell

Over the edge of the rainbow

Now I’m surrounded by this hell

This hell of you

This hell of me

This was not meant to be

Consumed and surrendered to everything

Lost stars within the galaxy

If I could close my eyes; click my heels

From this dream I would be free

If I could remove the plank from my eye

The answers I could see

But who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?

Addicted to more than we need feel

Unable to recognize the reality

Of the hands we sort to deal

But should the sky fall tonight

I pray we’ll see the light

Somewhere at the end of a tunnel

Like a fire burning bright.
