Tangled and mangled and dragged through my shame
I'm torn into pieces, I've forgotten my name
I look in the mirror, but she's not me at all
I've grown taller in inches, but became so small
I always listen, but I can't seem to hear
Always lost in thought, but my mind's never clear
Try to retrace my steps back into my youth
As if some faint memory could show me the truth
Through my window I see them, but they can't see me
The world is so beautiful, but at the same time, so ugly
The sun never sets, it just gets further away
Just like people get close, but they don't ever stay
Then it all becomes dark, and cold, and alone
Suddenly that empty feeling is written in stone
I start to ask if that person was not who I thought
Finding their fragments in moments I'd almost forgot
I don't cut ties, I only rip them apart
As if no one can hurt me, if I chose to depart
But every cruel action has been engraved in my soul
The separate stings of each mark are debilitating as a whole
They say time heals all, but with time comes scars
The sky would be breath-taking, but I can't see the stars
My telescope is tainted, my cd is scratched
And I'm afraid the tears in me are too great to be patched
