Sorrow
by Flyleaf
Sometimes life seems to quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lives
Change the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I’ll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that’s smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I’ll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that’s halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won’t be fooled by his angel light
Sorrow lasts through this night
I’ll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars
Joy will come

♥ Another band that’s had members changed out – or left on their own – only this time it was the lead singer. Flyleaf just hasn’t been the same since Lacey left, so I’m guilty of only listening to all their old songs and this has always been my favorite.
