Once again, I return to the deepest part of me I dread
There dwell hopes and dreams, hidden in glistening spiderweb
To save me from myself, I put away these secrets of mine
Where they're safe in shadow, awaiting brief chances to shine
Patience is managed as my mind remembers woe
The wounds have long healed but the scars still show
At the expense of my spirit, I spare myself heartache
So wary, so careful, so prudent with my sanity at stake
Close off those bleeding chambers hopefully for just a while
Because in the midst of sorrow, there's still reason to smile.
