keeping it to yourself

Keeping it to yourself
Away from the ones who could help
Leaving only a reflection of the anger
that you could not wane

Drowned in the rising tide
Scared of the override
Was it only a reflection of the love
of the dimming sky?

And you never saw it come
--taken away
And you never saw it come
--taken away
And you never saw it come
--taken away
And you never saw it come
--taken away
And you never saw it come

Dreaming of what was lost
Forgetting about the cost
Just as flawed as the perfection
of a memory
A beautiful mirage

Harder than any song
Waiting for the morning sun
Seeing only a reflection of the hunger
that you could not brave

Seeing only the reflection of the wonder
that you could not name

And you never saw it come
--take it away
And you never saw it come
--take it away
And you never saw it come
--take it away
And you never saw it come
--take it away
And you never saw it come

-- Ida, Laurel Blues
