When I saw other children fall to the floor They handled most of the pressure You fall and your skin rips even more Blood trickles down the oldest wounds wet and fresher
You fell again and again and again
And you won't stop trembling But if I hold you together Will it keep your skin from dissembling? I could never admit you weren't meant to last forever
If I scream my voice away Will you finally be saved Or will you fall apart in my arms? Will I fall apart when her face is melting in my palms? When all the rain and blood and feelings evaporate And all the flesh falls from the bone anyway
