Apartment Door


I could not keep Hope
Tied to the end of this twisted rope
I found only Fear
Selling ideas to our children here

I searched far for Love
I heard she only stayed a few months
Rumors in my head
And I’d lie awake waiting for her
To come comfort me while in bed

Like all rumors this one must be true
A lesson taught ever since grade school

This place has ill will
And every truth whispers the largest lie
Some bad alibi
I became Courage, but just for a day
Cause the heart dies in that time anyway

Well midnight black is shining down on me
But I want a light brighter than this night

I asked directions to the nearest church
And ended up at your apartment door
Where my best sins add up to such distrust
I swear I only wanted to find Love
In the absence of Truth we merely touch
And then it's lost but I want this answer

Because you’re easy
Easy to talk to
Spin me words that may or may not be true
But now it's too hard
Yeah your heart is hard
Will I be your friend even in the end?

I want this answer.
