Lyrics

Won't you sing again for me, Ophelia, of all the sorrow buried in your heart For the watcher never sees in your eagerness to please
All the shame was merely sadness from the start
Your laughter floats on borrowed time, heady hope and cheapened wine Though at once we're taken in, I know we've lost you yet again
Oh...Ophelia, we lift you up to strike you down again Oh...Ophelia, can you hear my broken heart’s lament
Will you speak again for me, Ophelia, all the unsaid heavy in your heart Of all the times you grit your teeth and summon courage up to speak Just to find the flame is swallowed by the dark
Your anger splashed across the page spilling over zealous rage Swallowed up and hidden deep, oh, the secrets you will keep
Oh...Ophelia, we lift you up to strike you down again Oh...Ophelia, can you hear my broken heart’s lament
How can I reach you, teach you, save you from the Darkest lies we tell ourselves again and again
Will you pray again for me, Ophelia, for courage facing out and looking in
Someday, Ophelia, we lift you up to strike you down again Oh...Ophelia, can you hear my broken heart’s lament
