maybe someday I'll dust off that old heart
find another reason just to breathe
or maybe one day the cracks'll just grow too long
start splintering at the seams
but right now I'm doing fine
just fine, just fine buried beneath the mess
nothing wrong, nothing right
escaping to other places just to leave a mark
anywhere's better than here right?
out of body, out of mind
just stay out of sight and everything'll be alright
stop up your ears so you can't hear
the whispered hate oh so late
keeping you up, keeping you tethered to the mess
broken beyond repair, never so far away
always looking in the wrong places
for what they think you need
when all you really need is a a new foundation
support in all the little asides
maybe then you'll come back down to earth
but they don't see, don't see what you really are
not a fresh lump of clay to be molded, not a blank canvas
your heart's plain to see, cracked and bruised
pushed against everything you once thought you needed
but still slowly, oh so slowly coming back around
building worlds and lives out of their reach
