everyone says there is a purpose to every life
deep inside of everyone there is a truth that deeper lies
when questions go unanswered i'd rather take a knife and kiss the sky
why does ice harden around the heart?
when love is no longer present suddenly you can't reach the stars
why do we build walls of stone around our fragile souls?
when it's time to say goodbye we can never seem to let go
in truth i know that's not us
because we have a fire that can outlast the darkness
i've questioned life since i was born
when you're given a rose why do you first touch the thorns?
there's no more heartache since you've torn down my crumbling walls of scorn
i always hope to see you in my dreams
and then there you are with rose petals falling all around your head
when i wake i want to find you still near me
with your sweet, sleeping face still intent
