never will (survivor’s guilt)
v1
lost in the pages
of letters we write
unseen in the postcards
from a past paradise
made are these memories in the blink of an eye
now soul’s fading flames melt to ice
v2
like a ghost in a daydream
too hard to deny
if only we’d noticed
in time we could fly
but these wings they are broken
and from that we can’t hide
weightless in waiting with faith as our guide
c
these echoes of silence
are drowning in fear
patience is torn
from these scars so sincere
alone with my thoughts now
alone in this skin
with grace we’ll rebuild
but replace
never will
v3
if your dreams were for sale
do you know what you’d buy
how much you pay
at what cost name your price
searching for solace
in a reason or rhyme
as gravity grasps but our heads they are high
c
these echoes of silence
are drowning in fear
patience is torn
from these scars so sincere
alone with my thoughts now
alone in this skin
with grace we’ll rebuild
but replace
never will
v1
lost in the pages
of letters we write
unseen in the postcards
from a past paradise
made are these memories in the blink of an eye
now soul’s fading flames melt to ice
