When silence only makes you wonder
What is stronger?
Lightning or thunder?
Even though one is so much louder
Like a lion's unquestionable power
And somewhere in the universe every question gets answered
But on weeknights in warren, We only get cancer
And it makes you wonder If souls are bigger than what's under
What's left of our minds
After the dust is blown away & left behind
And how she's that much bigger
When she only gets smaller
And how she's that much stronger
When all you see is hurt
And I don't think answers Fall from the sky
I guess you have to go up and get them yourself
Maybe that's why she left
To try and help
Or maybe that's just how bad
She deserved to know
Maybe God missed her
We're all selfish you know
So come up with something
In response to "I'm sorry"
And see how ironic it looks and seems
To smile and nod with tear stained cheeks
And a shivering chin, a lump in your throat
an uncontrollable sadness that doesn't even ask
It just creeps in and makes its home with anyone from her past
And at least were all here
At least we're together
But this old living room is so empty without her
And the dishes are dirty
That light cream china
And this house has served its memories & I watched them fly up
And three years later
You'll read the sign "for sale" in the lawn
And thank God for times past & times that are gone
And realize that answers don't fall from the sky
I guess you have to go up and get them yourself
Maybe that's why she left
Just to find out
And the things she knows now
Are magic in themselves.
