If I stop wishing, putting hope in far off stars If I could follow dreams more close to home Be happy where things are When left alone in anxious silence My thoughts conveyed continue living And laces these lines with hopeful words That curl and dance across the page I'm staring at these pages, their words are taking form I'm putting faith in things that I never thought I would before I'll tear down discarded thoughts That I've built up to keep this in I'll slam the door on misery And choose to live this life instead All of us are here to repeat ourselves Until I find a better way, until I find a better way The sum of all our fears, our only vow Until I find a better way, until I find a better way Sharing secrets in the pages Scrawling words to keep me sane To distract from discontent This pen becomes my voice And I'll let the ink take form To the words I'm too afraid to say And I'll follow I'm ready to call sanctuary But these four walls will not protect me While the sun rays light the door way I shield my eyes, and look away And let the voices sing to me
