Salvior

A savior doesn't visit, miracles don't appear

The minute hand ticks slower and the hour hand don't move

When you can't dream the future and you have something to prove

If you need an explosion to clean out all the pain

Clouds just swell in silence while you're waiting for the rain

The phone looks like a cobra on the table by the bed

Even if your savior called, everything's been said

Your nerves grow through your swollen soul like racing evil vines

You read her goodbye letter and try to see between the lines

Praying to be sleeping when the house burns to the ground

But hoping on the other hand that somehow you'll be found

People try to be a friend and come by for a talk

But when they start the speech the words just break in two like chalk

Waiting for the sweat that pours out when the fever breaks

Wishing you could take back every one of your mistakes

Do you find a fix

Do you give up on everything

And sit and take your licks

Do the lonely and the broken ones

Keep waiting for it all

Or do they just lay down

And accept the bitter fall

But then some tiny magic starts to grow and warm your veins

That mystery of life that somehow keeps you kind of sane

A daydream starts to grow that hasn't been there in a while

The kids are in the backyard and it makes you start to smile

The savior rushes in and grabs you hard and holds you strong

Not the one you wait for, one that's been there all along

The daydream doesn't end, instead your smile turns to a laugh

As the young ones teach you once again to be the better half

So you suck the poison from your blood and kick the bastard out

And walk out in the sunlight into what it's all about

You can't find a fix

You can't give up on anything

Especially when you're sick

If you're a lonely or a broken one

Keep giving it your all

So when you finally lay down
