The Silver Lining

     

     In my dreams there is the answer
     So I sleep inside my shadows
     I’ll never wake again
     Now she sits on shores of violets
     Looking out beyond horizons
     Waiting for my call

     And all I know, and all I’ve seen
     Doesn’t add up to a fraction
     I’ll never understand
     Then we’ll walk through fields of autumn
     Watch the leaves change like our lifetimes
     Bringing back that pain

     Everyday I fight to stay on top of what I thought was sane
     But father time and conscience bring me doubt
     And when I wake from my deep sleep
     I realize that all is cheap
     And nothing keeps its value so I’m out
     And so I walk through miles of glass
     And drink from rivers made to mask
     The spit of acid from enemies mouths

     Maybe now, you’ll feel what I feel
     As I roam to higher mountains
     Where I’ll fly away
     Though the pain has torn my soul out
     I can see the silver lining
     Saving me again

     And all I know
     And all I’ve seen
     Doesn’t add up to a second
     Of what this life’s about
