Hope Breathes

[seeyat]

I'll sing always in all ways, never swinging for sound
Lungs clear, no more fear, of judgement to be found
Where it was that lie betrayed, I can understand
For at one time I said I tried, to make her hold my hand
One single statement, underground, broke my future hold
I'm not acoustic, will not lose it, cut it off my soul

Death defying, am not trying, to become a band
Never listen, not my mission, now I take a stand
What I say within those walls, means nothing to me
I speak and walk away from all, until I am set free
There is no trust for any man, or woman in the halls
A key so tightly bound to hell for winters and for falls

Break the chain and float away, I'll scream it under breath
If choice were there for here or there, I'd rather face my death
I've never tried, nor will my eyes be bound to steel rings
There's nothing I could do but say, I'll watch but never bring
Enjoy the life you lead with love above the rest of hope
I understand the fears you don't, for all the ways to cope

I've seen such anger, rage and screams, reminded by a sound
Unfaithful hatred, stood untainted, make this not be found
My life has led me far from such a daunting memory
For all my instrumental skills are bound to melody
My voice, now here for lungs are clear, again for many years
Again, I place my hand upon your own and try to dry your tears

I am a voice, that is my choice, never any more
Perhaps some time my lungs will share their fluid with a bore
No matter what, that air within is all I want to feel
For I have seen the anger within swinging arms, it's real
This calm and happy life I lead will always be the same
I'll softly speak to keep them strong, then laugh and smile at games
