Seeping through the cracks
Of all the tragedies since passed
You will find me there
Not knowing when or where
Curled up beside myself
Reaching for that thing on the shelf
Of which I cannot remember
The mind is weak and tender
See your silhouette in shadow
My breathing quick and shallow
Seeping through the cracks you see
Oh this very broken me
Lying across the room so bare
Wishing I just wouldn't care
My body twisted, naked on the floor
Too bad you can't find the door
My eyes they wander towards you there
Not feeling anything but scared
I see the silhouette is gone
I fear my last breath I have drawn
But, then with such a deafening sound
I feel something hit the ground
My eyes grow small in the bright white light
And I can't believe the sight
You come to carry me away
Now I'll see the light of day
You pick me up and hold me tightly
Until my spirit begins to burn brightly
My feet are weak but, they carry me
With you by my side, now a we
Lifting me up with open arms
Making me smile with your charm
Seeping through the cracks you'll no longer find
The girl who was laying there blind
