Shadows before dawn.

Tread lightly...

When you clutch that pillow.

When you inhale deeply.

Does it smell...

Like me?

Do your eyes begin to water?

Does your spirit catch fire?

I can see the silver lining.

It's been long enough...

I've digested this all in silence,

Seen past all the fluff...

Hiding all the tears like a kid...

When they ask me something, I say:

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Seeing what it is, for what it is...

In the late hours trying not to lose my mind...

Trying to set fire to the bridge...

My hands are clammy,

So the match won't light...

Gotta cut the ropes and let it end.

If my mind won't stop it, 

My heart will have to block it. 

Hush...emotions.

Hush...implosions.

Hush...the notions.

Hush...corrosions.

Shush.

Don't weep...

Was it worth the distance?

Have you paid your penance?

Was it worth

What we...

Had before the fire,

Back before the love expired... 

I can see the silver lining.

Love can't be that tough...

I have found my peace behind this.

Burn the extra stuff...

Hiding all the tears like a kid...

When they ask you something, you'll say:

"Yeah, I'm fine..."

Seeing what it is, for what it is...

In the late hours trying not to lose your mind...

Trying to set fire to the bridge...

Your hands are drenched in tears,

So the match won't light...

Gotta cut the ropes and let it end.

If your heart won't stop it, 

My mind will have to block it. 

Hush...emotions.

Hush...implosions.

Hush...the notions.

Hush...corrosions.
