Dawn once again breaks past and soon it's day
Too bad for you cuz you're saying it's still the same
The sun exposed past the window shades
But you're ****** waking up with nothing to blaze

The sheets go back up give it another few hours
**** it and forget the day you were suppose to devour
You're up at the mirror but you retract like a coward
Never gonna see how they say you're that flower

The light in the night that gets them through the day
The person to go to who can figure out the way
But your light is a fire within the flame
Looked past but burning inside you as you sway

Swiftly to the music that gives you your breath
That song about love, life, hate, waste and death
Your only escape from that routine... that ****...
A vibe to hide you from when they all left

That build up of time devoted to your struggle
Times we don't speak of not even a mumble
Each instance of fear where you determined that no other
Could understand why each emotion is huddled

You were at your breaking point beyond control
Suffocating entirely with nothing to hold
Now you're reminded of what you still hide
You're reminded of that fire inside

A year and change to date is how you'd say
You've changed your life to try and explain
The absence of pain that continued to play
You keep to yourself that it's the same but not the same

"Push me. tell me something I don't wanna hear"
A fight just to fight just to help the red clear
Depression and it's favorites submerging near
Everything you hoped couldn't be swallowed in fear

The damage of the past is beyond your control
You know this but its different when there's nothing to hold
Nobody sees because you're too strong to unfold
But I see it in you the heat that screams for cold

Life in itself is the reminder you need
It sits here in front of you while you continue to bleed
A family, a home and a stomach to feed
Broken through a mirror but enough to see

That you within existence ripples the air
Every person you've touched, every time that you've cared
The music you vibe because the feelings are shared
You're significant down to the very curl of your hair.
