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
