Clouds Below

Guilt fills me like an ocean in a glass
Why do I consume myself with things that just don't last
I hit you in the cheek
While you extended your hand to me
But I still can't get over my wretched past

Hate for love
Denial for loyalty
Lies for truth
This is how I trade with you

Run to escape and leave you behind
Every time you call I deny
While you reach to embrace
And I struggle on my knees not to cry

Keep me close
Never let me go
I'll push you away
And you'll bring me back home

You gave me wings but I never flew
I crawled around because I never knew
You had more for me
Life eternally
And now I am closer to you

Above the clouds below...
