Echoes

I would catch the rain So you won't get wet I will write down all of the words That I never said Draw a line on my arm for each place You rested your head Know each beat of my heart Leaves a mark Of our every step Choke on the feeling Struggle with meaning Close the door on the world while I try to decide Try to base it on reason Lines of ink mark it even But No matter how dark , there'll always be time For the sun to rise Wash the colours out And turn off the sound Touch the echo's and bring them to my face So that I won't drown Find a meaning, a purpose, a place A way to understand Be the monument to all that you are In any way that I can Watch horizon's turn to red Feel heat from the ground Wrought hands, speaking softly But no comfort is found Wear the weight on those shoulders Pretend it's it's not there While those hands that reach down for you Grasp nothing but air Still you lay there at night Living each day the same But you'll never be whole again Never be whole again Never be whole again
