• I remember when my tears were disguised by rain
    And when the storm passed, I had to face the pain
    Had to be ready to prepare a hopeful heart
    Sew a thousand stitches so it wouldn’t fall apart

    But don’t they say “pain’s worth the while”
    Because it drags you away from denial?
    But pain always finds ways to begin a sin
    What happens when desperation kicks in?

    I’ve seen the world through all its s**t
    Found the good that still exists
    Watched hope grow through every age
    Seen the pain camouflaged by rage

    I’ve stayed up all night when I couldn't sleep
    With nagging questions biting at me
    If you knew a nightmare would steal your dream
    Would u still eventually fall asleep?

    Like would you be able to cut the cord—
    If death can stop your lover’s pain?
    And could you forgive all the scars you’ve endured
    If you were promised a world that screams your name?

    And if life could take you off your feet
    And give you what you always seek
    Would your crimes get in the way,
    Of the debts you’ve never paid?

    And maybe answers too get in the way
    When they create doubt throughout the day
    Telling us to fear when we wouldn’t before
    Life’s full of thoughts and sadly…
    There only comes more
