Onward and Upward

by Ortega Fuerte

/

lyrics

No one will know if you don't say,
Treat me forever gone away.
I'm just an orphan in your home.
All explanations left unknown.

You say things like you would die protecting me from fate;
Either way we'll both be lost and it will be too late.

Hide what you can and leave no sign.
Heart is your castle; don't breach mine.
In retrospect, we'll both be wrong.
No one to scold you when you're gone.

Darkness is mysterious but there is more inside.
In the light there is no safety; hate as stark as pride.

So if I'm nervous, you'll know why.
This is my symptom, thus I die.
For if I forfeit, there's no need.
Onward and upward, grace, godspeed.

If it seems I never thanked you for your sacrifice,
Take this note for what it's worth, I will not say it twice.
