Lyrics
Straight on the path, never straying sideways,
a life that reads neatly in ink.
She crumples the paper, and smudges the writing.
Holding it tight, she walks to the edge.
But she reaches out,
with pleading eyes
She said
Tell me to stay, and that it really matters
Tell me a truth I don't know.
So they said
Please won't you stay, and it really does matter
This is the truth you should know.
Sometimes she'd slip into the swirling darkness,
a conviction so firm and so real in its truth,
And sometimes she'd lie in the empty stillness,
a silence so stagnant, no thoughts carry through
But it's so much easier when she's falling
because one simple answer comes through
She said
Tell me to stay, and that it really matters,
Tell me a truth I don't know.
Don't treat me as fragile or just say the words now.
Spare me the charity please.
They said
Nothing's profound, don't be so dramatic.
The world's not so perfect, but that you should know.
There are people who care, don't be so selfish.
There are millions who envy this sheet in your hand.
That's when she knew that they just wouldn't get it
as she opened her hand to the wind,
Their memories will fade, and become surreal
A glimpse of the world on it's own.
She said
Push me away, and give me a reason.
I'll find a truth on my own.
Let me fall away and find my own peace.
Let me fall my way, and finally be free.
