I can't help but

See the tears on her face

I can't help but

Feel this isn't the right place

To open the jar

Watch the butterfly go free

But a wish upon a fallen star

Is merely a child's fantasy

We sit in the ash of our homes

Waiting for a sign

A whisper, a story

That might tear her back apart

She says she's okay

But underneath her smile

Is the ruins of a

Bloody, broken heart

There's always something

I never get it right

When I try to capture the

Brilliance of the sun for her

It ends up in being

The dark of night

Will there be a chance,

A moment to break free

Of the blindfolds on our faces

That make impossible to see?

We are but eagles

Shot from the sky

Caress these ruined wings

And kiss where we lie

Rapture from pills

And pain from our love

Blood from the rocks

Dust from above

Come as you are

Leave as a mess

Our wounded hearts

Will take care of the rest
