Do you think God stays in heaven because
He, too, fears what he made?
Who do you pray for when your pastor is on pills?
When the judge got a quota and your record won't heal?
When your pops works doubles, and your mama ain't real?
When did your smile begin to fade so slow?
Why does the past still knock, though you said no?
What wakes you in the dark, before the dawn?
Who whispered truth, then claimed they were wrong?
Where do the stars go when the sky forgets?
Is love a promise or just unpaid debts?
Have you ever kissed with a mouth full of lies?
Do you dream louder beneath quiet skies?
Can silence scream or is it always still?
Would you climb higher if not for the hill?
What if your fears are just borrowed time?
How do you age without being in your prime?
When did the mirror show who you became?
Did you ever know her real name?
If hearts are maps, why do we get lost?
Is freedom worth the heavy cost?
Are you the villain in someone else's tale?
Do you row harder when winds start to fail?
Why do we change what we cannot hold?
And who decided we all must grow old?
Would you answer, or just ask again?
Is this the beginning, or simply the end?
