Our Treasure Hunt
Our Treasure Hunt
There must be a better place than this
Where it's all sweet and light
Smiles and laughs
Where all feels right
There must be a better place than this
Where tears don't fall
Shining lights and happy stars
And fear doesn't call
There must be a place
Where it ain't lonely
It ain't dark
Must be a place
Where smiles are easy
Laughter sounds high
From the swings in the park
A place
Where corners aren't there
No hiding... No pleading
It's all free
No cages in mind
~ No ropes, no blades
No blood in the mat
No broken piece, no hidden wound
No bodies on the ground
~ No faked smiles, no full sleeves
With wrists slit open
No dried tears and blacken eyes
No force to stay sane
~ No broken dreams, no silent screams
No scared selves, no closet homes
No burnt face, no pages torn
No scratch on the skins
Let's dream... Dream of a place that's sane
And break...let's break those cages in the head
And free those wrists of full sleeves
We're a little bit broken, and a lot more lost
But let's try to fly
How much it'll cost?
Maybe a little more blood, one more scratch on the skin
More dried tears and a few more screams?
But it's okay, I guess
To stumble and fall
To let the fears crawl
And to cry in the shower
And to hide behind the stall
It's the way we cope
It's the way we hope...
Of a place that's better
Where it's all sweet and light
Smiles and laughs
Where all feels right
So put the blades back on the shelf
Or maybe drain it down
Untie the rope you made
From your favorite gown
Cut the sleeves short
And let those wrists breathe free
Who knows how much day's left
Maybe one, maybe two or maybe only three...
So let's search and search more
There must be a place
Better than this
Where tears don't fall
Shining lights and happy stars
And fear doesn't call
~ No ropes, no blades
No blood in the mat
No broken piece, no hidden wound
No bodies on the ground
Must be a place...
We must find
Where corners aren't there
No hiding... No pleading
It's all free
No cages in mind
So keep searching...
Maybe we can find it
Behind those cages
Or buried under the broken, torn heart?
Let's just search
And free all chains
And leave them burnt
Then maybe we'll find
The address of the place
Make it our little secret
Our treasure hunt..!!
