What, when we think that we’re trying our hardest?
What, when we think that we’re trying our best?

Arriving in splendor, leaving in darkness
Choking on greatness, it’s stuck in our chest

Is it harder to live in a fort in the sky?
Is it harder to live all alone underseas?

The darkness of heaven, the darkness of oceans
The silence of both, endless infinities

Are you trying to drown out your hatred?
Are you trying to smother your fears?

Tin foil won’t quiet the heartbeat
Black velvet won’t dry all the tears

It’s strange we can’t walk into fiction
It’s strange that we have even tried

Gold armor protects all our secrets
And our heart, and our head, and our pride

So do you think that we’re testing our fortune?
Do you think that we’re cheating our fate?

Two lovers, they both start as strangers
And hope they’ve not found it too late

I don’t think that it’s too late to save them
And I don’t think it’s too late to start

What, are you hiding from heartbreak?
Well a bad place to hide would be
Inside your heart.
