What You Can't Destroy

Here's to the raging storm
The fear that's held within
It's the fear I can't destroy
But I can't let you set it free.

Here's to the fall and broken wings
Where hopes have turned to ash
When my eyes no longer hold the brilliance
For the light has died within.

Here’s to the calm before the hell
The blue before the gray
The whispered screams before they cry
Why must one judge and sacrifice?

Here’s to the girl who sleeps alone.
Within the sheets of air.
Here’s to the ground that bares her head
And the wind that bares her voice.

Here’s to the rain, kept me to smile
I praise the land that lets me breathe
I love the trees that let me hide
As my mask is turned to pieces .

I love the thunder, for me it screams
I love the lightning, for me it shines
I love the air that suffocates
The thoughts and words I breathe.

Here’s to the boy who lost it all
Who gave his life to that he loved
Here’s to the boy that tried to hide
Who loved in fear, who took the fall.
