Dispirited

If you look beyond the firelight to see the embers
there's so much more within than you remember
the display isn't half as beautiful as what's inside
the glow that keeps on burning through the night
I see you've forgotten how wonderful the warmth can feel
melting away the walls and showing you what's real

Dispirited, you hold your ground
the song of angels doesn't make a sound
you thought you had the world in your grasp
hollow promises and every insecurity
connected by a spark that's fading out
the last strands of what once was
breaking, fraying, one by one
yet despite the outcast's reverie
there is nothing keeping you fallen
the matches have struck,now smoke is rising
it's your decision to discover
the soul who is lighting up the sky just for you

When you search further than the stars to see the comets
there's mystery in what you thought you knew
first impressions never show all that you need to see
the true beauty is in the littlest details
I've found you've lost the hope that you used to cherish in your heart
lifting you above the gloom and into a brand new start

Dispirited, you hold your ground
the song of angels doesn't make a sound
you thought you had the world in your grasp
hollow promises and every insecurity
connected by a spark that's fading out
the last strands of what once was
breaking, fraying, one by one
yet despite the outcast's reverie
there is nothing keeping you fallen
the matches have struck,now smoke is rising
it's your decision to discover
the soul who is lighting up the sky just for you
