Where Do I Go

You asked me to paint my house of pain
I didn't know it had a name
You asked me to draw my shell of fear
I thought it had long disappeared

The same blow falling on the same bruise
A new band-aid but what's the use
The root is hurting, the well is dry
And many steps for me to climb

Where do I go when nights are spreading
Into the light of every day
What do I do when all is ending
How do I start it all again

No more designing the same old fate
No more pretending it's not there
'Cause now I've painted my house of pain
A clear picture with a name

Where do I go when streets lie empty
Dreams have been shot down from the sky
What do I do when wishful thinking
Is like a bird that cannot fly

Life will come back slowly
Under the bruises there's a vein of truth
I know I'll find a new beginning
I know I'll give this heart new roots

Riding out in rains of silver
Like pictures in a fairytale
One more sea of dreams I'll sail
And I'll make it in the end
Held in magic I will sail
And I'll make it in the end

Held in magic I will sail
And I'll make it in the end

Held in magic I will sail
I know I'll make it in the end
