At times like these
I can’t see
All the reasons
Why I want us to be.
Frightened, insecure
Can I endure any more?
I can see the rubble
Before everything crumbles
The clouds before the thunder
Can’t help but see the peices
Of what isn’t broken
So many things unspoken
The tears of the untorn
The calm before the storm
You think I’m mad
Maybe I am, but I go on
These sweet nothings
Only work for so long
Can we move along,
When we’re not even this strong?
Can we make the climb,
When we’re still lagging behind?
I can see the rubble
Before everything crumbles
The clouds before the thunder
Can’t help but see the peices
Of what isn’t broken
So many things unspoken
The tears of the untorn
The calm before the storm
Imagination haunts me
And taunts me
Ever the paranoid one
I’m coming undone
Remember that storms
Are never warm
How long can we hold
It’s starting to get cold
I can see the rubble
Before everything crumbles
The clouds before the thunder
Can’t help but see the peices
Of what isn’t broken
So many things unspoken
The tears of the untorn
The calm before the storm
Another peck at the wall
A hole in the boat
A tear in the seams
Taxing and unrelenting
Bit by bit, peice by peice
And soon we will
Lose everything.
