Falling from Grace

i'll speak here
save your voice
hold the fear
when it comes down to choice

i'll scream here
save your face
fighting tears
like falling from grace

i can't paint the stars anymore
if you're refusing to see
i can't pull your dreams from the floor
if that's where you're bent to be

and every once in a while
i remember that sad, sheepish smile
how you loved to paint the whole world blue
becoming the madness that lies
behind laughing eyes
and you do what you have to do

i'll stand here
save your strength
always near
though closer to drained

i cry when you won't
i believe when you don't
i'll pick you up if you fall
carry you if all you can do is crawl
i'll offer words to ease your mind
and i'll wait for you, if you should fall behind

i'll speak for you here
save your voice
hold the fear
when it comes down to choice

i'll scream here
save your face
fighting tears
like falling from grace
