Life and death of a maiden

Chapter 5 the dance

"Zeke can you sing for us to see if you join the ucm" said Mrs fubio
Chasing these shadows around this darken room
I've laid here so long I don't even want to move
I need a minute now to heal
I need a minute now to remember how to feel
Whenever you're gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you're gone the bleeding won't stop
It hurts until you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
I reached out for when I needed you to be here
All alone chasing these shadows
I don't want to pain but I'd rather hurt than not care
It's so long, you've been away from here
I need a reason now to hear
I need something to believe in
I need a reason now to remember to feel
Whenever you're gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you're gone the bleeding won't stop
It hurts 'til you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
Give something to believe in
I still believe in you
But if you're never here and I'm left all alone
Tell me what am I supposed to do
Whenever you're gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you're gone the bleeding won't stop
It hurts 'til you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
"Thanks" said Mrs fubio
"Your welcome" said Zeke
If I could break away
half of all your pain
I'd take the worst of it and carry you like you carry me
You say that you're alright
when tears are in your eyes
We're strong enough for this and I need you
It's okay that you need me
So put your armor on the ground tonight
'Cause everyone's got to come down sometime
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to hold the world in your hands
You've already shown me that you can
Don't have to be Superman
I know I've been gone too much
We talk about me too much
I'm selfish and distracted
But I'm here, I'm here and I'm listening
And it's just you and me and these four walls
And we are only human after all
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to hold the world in your hands
You've already shown me that you can
Don't have to be Superman
And oh
You rest your eyes now, take my hand
Even heroes fall down now and then
You can let it go
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to hold the world in your hands
You've already shown me that you can
Don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
Evelyn sings to herself
"Evelyn you should go and be a singer some day" said mom
"Ok" said Evelyn
"Don't give me that attitude missy" said mom
"Mom can I go and see aunt Sylvia's grave" Said Evelyn
"Yes let's go I'll about to go and see it" Said mom
I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man
He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels
Never knowin' how the real thing feels
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I want to leave something here
Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I want to be runnin'
When the sand runs out
'Cause people do it everyday
Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there, but I'm changin' from the inside out
That was then and this is now
I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man
And when they carve my stone they'll write these words
"Here lies a man who lived life for all that its worth"
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I want to leave something here
Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I want to be runnin'
When the sand runs out
And as the cold wind blows
Across the graveyard
I think I hear the voice
Of my old friend
Whisper in my ear
Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I want to be runnin'
When the sand runs out
I want to be runnin' when
The sand runs out
Ooo, yes I do
