Blind hope
Sunlit morning sky
Penetrating blue rays of light
And the seeking eyes.
You thought I couldn't see,
you were locking up everything inside.

Moving shadows up on the ceiling.

I was drawing it all in my mind
To hope was wrong, I knew
And i hoped it all, blind.

For a second I won

But I couldn't get close
And a third time I failed
I realized, not you, not myself
or the dozen people that were there.
Girl, what do you expect?
When you wish so hard it starts to hurt,
It's not a wish.
But a whim deep down your core.

Now rinse it off, walk it off.

It's that time again
To set your goals high
And walk the line.
Boy, one day you will learn,
how to mend the rift you hide inside.
But for now, I'd be taking my bandaids
Set them on my bedside.
Where the dreams i once had
Keep me warm at night.
