Beneath the Storm

By Laura

Two souls held away inside today
Just take the key and throw it away
Shift your eyes away from this heartless bay
Through laughter in the dark today, we'll chase away looks of dismay

We're turning into the drugs that have no name
Bitter truths divide, but lies return from where they came
We're intertwining lines that climb our iron walls
Trying not to trip and fall; to stall that fatal curtain call

Its the disease of our broken minds that bind our wandering hands 
To know our stand will get so high, that we will smile when we land
But truer words were never heard than when we stood outside the herd
So we held hands and met our lips without the help of timeless words

So when its finally time to meet the morning winter sun
There emerges a distance that glistens where loneliness begun
Its letting go and knowing that, these lies are ancient artifacts
So clear to me in what we see; some things we're never taking back
