For the world keeps spinning....
And I keep singing...
Forget this pain, these tears, these fears.
Nothing more than shadows behind that open door.
A door that leads on to a life that's new and better.
But I'm scared.
I'm so damn scared.
I can't move.... can't move at all.
My strength is all gone.
All used up pretending to be so perfect, so sure, so confident.
Ivory and black,
Scarlet on white,
Blue and cream.
Salt in water on her cheek.
You gave up.
You were weak... too weak... to weak to care.
She can't see past the blur that always lives in her eyes...
And neither can I.... neither can I.
Neither of us can find the strength to keep fighting.
Neither of you can find the strength to keep up the fight.
Is it over?
Is it over?
It can't be... not yet.
But her heart keeps breaking.
Your hands keep shaking.
Shaking... so violently... so frighteningly.
She's so afraid.
She's just a child, but you are not.
And neither am I.
Neither am I.
We keep walking. We keep silent.
Neither speaks.
Neither dare show the pain.
She hides. You lie. So do I.
She keeps thinking you'll free her from these fears.
You keep thinking she'll cave into your desires.
The world keeps spinning.
Why do I keep singing?
Why do we keep hoping?
Cast it all away! All this damn hope.
Cast it away!
Can she? Can you?
Neither can I...
