Streaks of White
6/6/08
Every morning look outside the window
Watch the ants a marchin down the freeway
Almost wishing I was them 'cause I don’t have the choice
But only 'cause I don’t have the choiceWhen everything you know gets ripped away
In the time it takes to read the doctor's face
Wondering if I will live but trying not to cry
Trying not to cryHear strangers screaming out into the night
Wonder what dark things they must be facing
Every night it's something else, the pain is in the walls
The pain is in the wallsBut then I started seeing miracles
In all the things I used to take for granted
Saw vibrance where I once saw grey, and light in everything
Light in everythingSaw friends I hadn't seen in years and years
Reaching out so scared with blind compassion
Feeling how they wish me well, I want it even harder
I want it even harderAnd I will live today the best I can
So each tomorrow greets me like a bonus
Day by day I will survive 'cause I'm not done with life
Oh, I'm not done with life
