I never had trouble believing in the light
Until darkness filled my eyes
My life’s eternal day was an endless fight
As I stood choking on my lies
My wooden world consumed by the sun the world sent
I rolled around in ashes- the only thing that’s left
The skin over my heart replaced with scar tissue
And I know it’s permanent
To think I never thought his world was wooden too
He’s the phoenix after my fire
And we started to rebuild everything I knew
Left my wounded heart and made my home in his
Clinging to the smile after every single kiss
I don’t know why but then in time
He left his heart in search of mine
40 days and a night with the plans it mars
Until reaching my splinters and lovely scars
Disbelief at the disfigurement he didn’t see
When he rested his spotlight solely on me
He sung his song and spoke the sky
Found in my heart the will to fly
Such the way my story has went
How I found out my scar tissue
Wasn’t permanent
