You crawled up within my skin
took a taste of my anxiety and welcomed yourself in
wove my fears together and built yourself a home
upon the road of my aching bones
you travel endlessly
and all these indoor bruises that they can not see
I can never stop feeling
Unable to keep you away
I buried my secrets six feet deep
but every day you bring them flowers
everyday you sing to them
and now I am the stranger
wandering hopelessly around your new home
every day I knock,
but no one's ever home

When you meet them, you will not see it
but you will feel it
your heart will beat steadier/
your palms will find relaxation
warmth will no longer lie within your favorite winter sweater
and suddenly
their worries will become your own
their pain will flow through your veins
then one night you will lie awake in bed and realize that the soul you're in love with is broken
you will hurt eachother
sometimes they'll cut you deeper
but you will only care to heal their scars
you were drowning in your own cup of water and along came another broken glass
there will be days when the sun won't shine as bright
nights when your bed sheets will feel colder
their eyes won't always sparkle at the sound of your voice
and you will feel it in your stomach,
in your soul
when they cry
your throat will knot first
and the saddest thing is, you will signify their happines
you - who are broken too
but they are not waiting on you to fix them

things won't always be okay
and that's…okay

I lost my mind the other night on the 3am bus to Figure It Out highway
thought it'd be okay to let it wander for a few hours until the storm cleared out but when I went back I couldn't find it
Now nothing makes sense,
I can't understand this
Tried to act normal but problems keep knocking on my door asking to stick around
I dodge all the questions hoping every night that it finds its way home
It's getting really crowded in here but I still feel alone
Lying wide awake at night
not knowing what the time is
I lost my mind a while back
I'm still trying to find it

all your goodbyes were once temporary
even on your darkest nights
your light, still bright
so legendary
but this time you left,
with no early warning
this time you left
and forgot to keep your light on
now they're signing names with pain tinted writing
asking for your peace
while they are torn to pieces
but heaven's not a place on
earth
or you would've found it
crazy when someones passes the ones who really die stand around the casket
but you were a fighter
all your strength, you have passed it
on to us and in your prayers..
gone now but your spirit lives forever
