Because of You

Because of you I'm all here Buried all the pains Dug a new chapter Imported new feelings Seeded hope Exported all the grievances Took hold of the promises Watered the heart Cementing the broken pieces together Laminated the smile And on the wall I nailed it Began a tireless journey Wishing for the best Trusting the eyes Enjoying the sweet melody A lullaby I need for a lifetime Remember those days? Acting silly and stupid The ignorance we entertained The confusion we embraced Embroidering the hatred In the mist of pain we got lost Turning our backs on each other Anger reddening our eyes Silence that became a graveyard Silence that almost murdered our hearts Intoxicating our feelings Destroying the taproots of our future I remember the days Buried now Now I smile For we hold it In our hands we are molding it Together moistening the clay That long ago cracked With no hope of being leather hard again We have it We repainted the wall A new dawn of hope A beginning of a new chapter The chills of winter all gone Summer says hello With its rain we will puddle In the mud together Yes the mud of love we will dirty ourselves For we buried the past
