Silver Linings

The sun is playing shy behind the clouds Something's got her hiding from the crowds Heavy hanging, black as ash Wincing with each lightning crash Cover your ears, it's just too much The weight of the world hangs in the sky I'm sleepwalking to a crooked lullaby The fog blurs the trees and suffocates the sea Cover your eyes, it's just too much There are silver linings, silver threads From white clouds, white beds Drapes that quiver through the room A winding river, a sailing tune Filling the cracks in our broken hearts With the light of a new start Tracing the tracks of our broken starts To the light of a new heart Don't look at me like this mother I've been spat on by storm clouds one after the other I'm hurting and I'm fragile I'm trying to seem casual Cover your heart, it's just too much I'm beat as the bones in an old graveyard Thought I had thick skin but I hadn't yet been scarred Lines run down my face Running away from grace, running for cover to feel safe But my ears want to listen, my eyes want to see My heart wants to feel what it's like to be free Maybe the lines drawn on my face Can draw me back to grace Uncover your ears Uncover your eyes Uncover your heart
