How Dark Is Gone

Aren't you glad you can still feel pain

Aren't you glad you still feel anything

Aren't you glad you can still complain

Aren't you glad you're still the same

Make you run through life when you could walk

Make you scream when you wanted to talk

Would you rather wave a flag

Or wave goodbye

Would you rather flood your heart

Or dare let them see you cry

Rather fight a war or live in fear

Aren't you glad to be here

You can't know till you do

By then lesser thieves have spoken for you

With their quiet demands

In a whispered hush

You may have to lie

When the truth hurts too much

As life traces the lines in our faces

I won't look away

Some die too young

Some live too long

How dark is gone
