What matters most is how well we walk through the fire

lyrics

We cling to hope. Its distant glow has left me empty and alone. Searching for something, anything to call my own. But the sun is gone and I can barely breathe. But I will mend and learn to live again someday. I have to believe that the clouds will part and their shadows will throw themselves into the sea. They've thrown themselves into the sea. So far from the coast, I never gave up the ghost. It haunts my head and it follows me. A life I've lived without reprieve. I never felt so alone. I buried my fears inside my chest and I've come to terms with what was left. I remember the way the light would fade and make this place seem so still, as if nothing's changed and nothing ever will. A life unlived is no life at all. Walked through a wall of defeat as it rose like flowers stretching out to reach the sun. I will mend and learn to live again, someday. The empty of alone has left me clinging to hope. The empty of alone has left me awaiting the inevitable. And so, we cling to hope. Its distant glow begins to grow and burn away the empty of alone that I've come to know. We are the heavyhearted. The last of a dying breed. We've held our tongues for far too long. No voice with which to speak. They've taken the passion from you. Silver tongues concealing their teeth, but they can never take your heart away. You are only what you choose to believe. You are only what you choose to believe. You are only what you choose to be. So we rise from nothing. Our hearts begin to mend. I will walk through the fire. I will see the sun again.
