Lyrics

Again you fill your lungs with air before the sea of glassy eyes
I watch you, bitter-broken, take the platform anyway
Perhaps you know your curse is a cruel hope someone will listen
What monster would I be were I to take that hope away?

'Cause maybe if you change the words, and maybe if you say them right
And maybe it's a question of the cadence of the song
Maybe it's the messenger; there're others they'd hear better
It's sapped your strength, but dear, they didn't hear when you were strong

We know that it's the music they all came to hear, not you, my dear
We know your premonition is their best chance to survive
Perhaps you know your curse is that you're trapped inside the trying
What monster would I be were I to leave your hope alive?

'Cause maybe they don't give a damn, and maybe they're just doomed to die
And maybe that's the outcome of the choices that they choose
Perhaps there's too much pain inside the secrets that you're screaming
And maybe that's the reason that they clutch their right to lose

You have a stunning shine in your eyes
You have a lovely sheen to your crown
I hate myself to think I could extinguish such a light
But I'd rather grey a soul than watch another seer drown

So maybe you should turn away...but maybe you can't do that, though
'Cause maybe you can help them see the paths winding awrong
Perhaps they know you're not the one who's strong enough to save them
And maybe that's the reason they've ignored you all along
