Something precious and sacred you hold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key to what\u2019s inside you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while it\u2019s meant to be shared<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve built these walls to the heavens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And covered them in shards<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of broken dreams and sharpened tongues<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And hands meant only to take<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s become so hard to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we know we\u2019re born for<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These wings were made to spread<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These souls supposed to shine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we soil them, dragged screaming to the ground<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We silence them in suffering<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until we lock the doors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And forget we have those keys<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that\u2019s not how we\u2019re meant to live<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And meaning is something we always search for<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even when we know the answer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because facing that we\u2019ve failed ourselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is just too much sometimes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we\u2019ve failed this world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve failed and now we\u2019re stuck<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trying to find ways around<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These walls we wield as weapons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiding in shadows and secrets<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we should be proudly shining<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A war we cannot win when none stand with us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against a system built before<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That looks to tear us down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And all the generations past<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That found their own sick ways to cope<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What hope have we to change it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know, but surely we must try<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As others had to have before<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And hold on to the glimmer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That we might break the cycle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use these keys we hold so tight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And open wide again<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
