And in the dead of the dark night
It’s the world that she’s holding back
Pushing, she’s holding out till daylight
Afraid of what is hiding in the shadows black
Waves are crashing across her shoulders
From the swelling storm she cannot see
Her wings are caught beneath boulders
Even as she tries to hold them back, the tears flee
The dam that’s groaning, threatening to break
Holding back a whole world of unknowns
There is a lifetime of nightmares at stake
She’s searching desperately for a way to atone
There is a wind that is tearing past her skin
In her dreams the cold is enough to freeze
Pain as punishment for some unknown sin
Looking out into the distance, she sees
No one is coming to pick up all the pieces
She knows the black will never lighten to grey
And as the dark of the night never ceases
No one ever told her that it would be ok
