"the steps of faith fall on the seeming void, but find the rock beneath"
-john g whittier

i guess i thought a letter would be less confusing
so for your eyes i write another waterlogged excuse
toil and turn and watch another secret burn
controlling words is just something i just wasn't born to do
there is a secret beneath you

in my silence i defend my common sense
and i see through all the stupid things i do

it's hard to write a letter with an open mind
when all i saw was underneath a satisfied embrace
that exposed your wondrous face

in my silence i defend my common sense
as i'm walking along my familiar fence
and i see though all the stupid things i do
and that this path i'm on will never lead to you

in my silence i defend my common sense
as i'm walking along my familiar fence
and i see though all the stupid things i do
and that this path i'm on will never lead to you
and i'm looking back to only see a spark
as i finally take a step into the dark
