Soft Day

Soft day sadness
Wild eyes in
My mind
Broken sunlight
In the night again
Ain't no hidin'
From violent memory
Sad eyes betray ya
Watch my daughter learn to fit all
The pieces into place

Feels as though
We hold out own hells
Ain't no two ways
Get to know
The best of ourselves
For daylight fades

Fragile spring will come again
But there's hope today
Wish I could carry her a while
Spare her the pain
Don't clip your wings before you soar
Little wildlin'
The drunken dance of time is yours
There's hope to find dear

Feels as though
We hold out own hells
Ain't no two ways
Get to know
The best of ourselves
For daylight fades
