Could you see the good in me while I sleep?
Good never behaves like it should
Flags aflame and now they wave in the morning wind
To say: "We can forgive but we won't give in"
World rob me blind—story fill my eyes
The finest song is barely a breath in a long goodbye
Black on white: the page is a part of my cage
What's fear at first, now is the heart taming dark
Finally time but mine is rolling on and on
Wish it would slow but wishing don't make it so
Burn off the chaff—rise, rise, rise
The finest song is barely a breath in a long goodbye
World rob me blind—story fill my eyes
The finest song is barely a breath in a long goodbye
