What Cannot Be Saved

Beauty is easy to love

And many have loved mine well

But loving the shadows I hide

Deep in my wishing well

Is a task for the prophets and fools who'll travel that far below

Like you, who discovered a light

Where no one had tread before

Could you make me brave?

Brave enough to cherish

What cannot be saved

Whatever I have failed to name

I ask for permission to speak, as my word will not carry

The dreams I've buried so deep, I had to go back to sleep

Could I be a prophet and fool who'll travel that far below?

And soon discover a night where no one had tread before

Could I be that brave?

Brave enough to cherish

What cannot be saved

Whatever I have failed to name

Let me show you

How ugly I can be

Let me show you

Could I be that brave?

Brave enough to cherish

What cannot be saved

Whatever I have failed to name

Whatever I have failed to name

Whatever I have failed to name

Whatever I have failed to name

Whatever I—

Empty space

In a crowd of stars

Empty space

In a crowd of stars
