What are you waiting for?

Weight

the light dims to embers as night creeps slowly in
a romantic spark caressing the horizon in play
and as the sun sets on another evening spent trapped within
I find that virtues forgotten have at last found stay
a purchase once so tenuous and uncertain with time
finally a nest, a home, a place to rest in my mind

The days drag on and the nights can't last
Fighting a one man war I can't get past
Clawing and tearing away with a fragile heart
I find the weight of the waiting is the hardest part

in the nights I once feared I find my greatest reprieve
the moments of nothing at all, except all we could be
sometimes i feel so stupid, optimism comes hard
but I can't live forever trapped within my scars
so much better now than I was, I know all too well
the voices haunting the mind in the quiet moments
I have seen the bitter, self-loathing, personal hell
the one that eats at your soul and never relents
and I managed a whole day to stem the tide of sorrow
and for once I still have some hope left for tomorrow

The days drag out and the nights go so fast
Fighting a one-man-war that just can't last
Clawing and tearing away at a fragile heart
I find the weight of the waiting is the hardest part

dreams flicker through a mind so confused by everything
not the least of which being why anyone could want me
and I cherish the laughter I see occasionally in your words
I walk through gardens in starlight to dance with you again
I smile a little even at myself for thoughts ever so absurd
but I cherish every fleeting moment where it feels like I win
Maybe tomorrow will be lonelier than today could ever achieve
Maybe tomorrow i'll have to fight so much harder to stand
Maybe the sun and the moon will collide, killing everything
But at least, for once, I know I'm doing everything that I can

To shelter the flickers of hope from a world so dark
Bearing the weight of the waiting with the fragilest heart
So unsure of the outcome, I'll keep ressing on, regardless
Because for once I don't care about the consequences
I just want to do what seems right, and it feels so good to be free
To watch the sun kiss the sky goodnight, next to you, in my dreams
