Of A Better Day

Holding the key as hard as you can Didn't feel it bruising Run and run down by a forsaking hand Never believed you were losing Cling to a shadow, drawn on the wall Hiding the marks of another day Can't feel the dampness covering it all Washing away what he had to say And you steal away, 'til the screams and shudders have passed But you need to stay To protect all the doors and the dreams of a better day Oh we were young was the line that you gave Over and over to hide it Unspoken thoughts were the hardest to save And you gave and you gave your blood and your spit Ahhyaya, ahhyaya Waking one morn, you were broken and torn Feeling for something he'd missed Hard as you can 'til the handle breaks And you rest 'til the sirens bring silence and bliss And you steal away, 'til the screams and shudders have passed But you need to stay To protect all the doors and the dreams of a better day Steal away, 'til the screams and shudders have passed But you need to stay To protect all the doors and the dreams of a better day Hiyaya, hiyaya To protect all the doors and the dreams of a better day To protect all the doors and the dreams of a better day Of a better day Of a better day
