To Selendene

Your eyes look sullen, darling Tell me what you want me to do The skies look all so gloomy Let me hold up an umbrella for you The pain, it fades and never stays Just as much as I'm willing to We may be islands on the sea But at least you're right here next to me And here we go again Where life feels so meaningless So ready to throw it all away Without thinking of the consequences You'd be surprised how short it is Next thing you know There's nothing left to wish away So stay with me tonight until the sun comes up Make the most out of it And by the time the clock strikes on our lives We would've already painted this town With all of our colors And I'm pretty sure You would've forgotten all about today These wounds aren't chains No they don't paralyze you easily Just take deep breaths but if that doesn't work You can always come home to me Just rest a while, and learn to smile again The little things matter too So if the big things don't help There's something else to rely on in you You've built up traps for your own dreams So afraid that you can't reach them anyway So cry to me tonight until they have all gone And when you can stand up again We'll paint this town with all of our colors And by the time the clock strikes on our lives The hues will be on our minds And I'm pretty sure You would've forgotten all about today But hey, if you can't fight it And it turned to some chronic darkness Just know that we will face it anyway I'll stay awake with you These arms won't let you go And if the night lasts for weeks We will not be alone The moon and the stars will paint this town With all of their colors And by the time the clock strikes on the dark You would've been proud you survived today
