Tomorrow is when we try So I don’t have to pretend I’m okay today A shadow guards me Encasing me in this glass prison Shallowed out breath Teardrop filled eyes But they won’t leak I have to be careful when I escape this prison The scars on my arms paled but not yet gone Memories of blood and tears empty promises and doubt A meticulous escape plan must be created One to let me escape unscathed Let me leave this prison unbroken

prison walls
Tomorrow is when we try So I don’t have to pretend I’m okay today A shadow guards me Encasing me in this glass prison Shallowed out breath Teardrop filled eyes But they won’t leak I have to be careful when I escape this prison The scars on my arms paled but not yet gone Memories of blood and tears empty promises and doubt A meticulous escape plan must be created One to let me escape unscathed Let me leave this prison unbroken
