Have Heart
Inside my darkest hour, my heart beats still
Inside a memory, I find, a surging chill
Came over my bones like winter cold
Came to a place in my head, nobody knows
I saw the solstice, claim its place in the sky
I saw you, the disconnect, and I did fight
With every breath I have, I'll struggle for you
With every passing day, I feel more confused
All at once, the trip seems less like a twilight
All the places we’ve been disappear in a night
So bad I wish to hold a rose while life wills
So many colors we have shown, and red kills
The precious painted expression when you grin
The mysterious mindful intensity when you sin
Call on prayer when demons begin culling
Call my name when living means nothing
Know storm fall mirrors the mood of home
Know I love you deeply, and your not alone
For sane reasons, I give my lung and heart
For insanity, and thought, I give much, not
Plain as day we can stand and weather rain
Plain as people, we are who we are either way
Where will the light come in, when it is ready
Where will we be when our hearts stop beating
