Here's the Day

Why can't we speak in a language we all agree on?
Everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard
Fragile quilts of faded memories torn apart by life's disease
This clock never seemed so alive
They say a hero will save us; I'm not going to sit here and wait
You've opened the door now so don't let it close
I fear liberation but something more alive than silence
Your hills and valleys are mapped by my intrepid fingers
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
Ambitions like ribbons worn bright on my sleeve
Do they burn the wishes whispered like secrets they are just to be heard
Don't fall down because an angel should never touch ground
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
You're going to catch a cold from all the ice inside your soul
When darkness is no less than everything you've built become undone
I hope there is a way to give me a sign you're okay
Because with you I'd withstand all of hell to hold your hand
Cause I held onto yours for so long that I couldn't hold my own
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
Here's the day you hoped would never come
