One hope then another;

Have you been gazing a bit more than usual 
Up at the sky, asking why you should try
When your body aches
To surrender 

Everyone needs someone helping them reach
For whatever their heaven is
Someone to teach them and promise things
Will get better

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly;

And I'm sorry I'm not quite explaining it right
But this noise becomes anger, and the anger is light
And this burning inside me would usually fade
But it isn't today
And the heat, and the shouting
And my heart is pounding, and my eyes are burning 
And suddenly, everything, everything is 

Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that still sort of quiet
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book 
Or a pause in a walk in the woods

Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that nice kind of quiet
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed
Just the sound of your heart in your head

I know there's pain in your heart;

"Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent; 
but nothing is infinite, not even loss. 
You are made of the sea and the stars, 
and one day you are going to find yourself again." 

I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to 
I can't help but want you 
I know that I'd die without you

Waving Through A Window

Heart, don't fail me now
Courage, don't desert me 
Don't turn back now that we're here 
People always say 
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
