You spin words like a song A distant melody that soothes the soul Turn past tense into present Because that's all you know
That melody floats in your ears Like a friend that is never truly gone A ghost of a memory that waits Patiently to be resurrected
In the mirror you see not shapes nor angles But words with no form Music notes across your skin that wait for your touch And you know they'll never lie to you
Friendship only goes so far Before their touch of warmth becomes broken Their words hollow and their music painful So you lose yourself in that melody which haunts you always
The present wraps around your fingers lovingly And you can't let go of the past Both tenses love you so Because nobody else does
But the future means nothing to you So you let it go to the people That believe everything happens for a reason And that there's such a thing as hope
They whisper softly when you're around Sickly sweet voices trying to show you the light That words are nothing compared to people But the darkness is where you stay
The murmuring so sweet Your precious lullaby This hopeless world can't compare So you'll touch reality another time

If you care to find me, look to the western sky! As someone told me lately, everyone deserves their chance to fly!... And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free, To those who ground me, take a message back for me... Defying Gravity - Wicked

Why don't you just admit that you want to be a duck as well?
