I have memories of the perfection of happier moments
That I cling to like a sailor to a broken mast
Like t he baby to the blanket that keeps him warm
Chewing it over to still the pain and distract him
This keeps me same, this keeps me here
And these blue eyes, they look at me
With the calm and endless depth of love without taint
With the trust that I will do no wrong
That I will be stronger than the moment, the sound, the fury, and the unknown
I have the weight of a thousand decisions,
Right or wrong, and the things I believe to be truth
They keep me here, they keep me sane
In the quietest of places of the heart
That is offered no solace but continues to beat
For the sake of the joy of the moment,
And the firm trust in the tiny hand that grips mine
I have seconds when it all feels right
But the hope that spring eternally,
(Can be) like ashes in my mouth
The moment brings me to despair
I do the right thing, baby, for the right reasons
And all the black in the world can't cloak the light that shines from you
