Wake up one day and your head is bleeding,
You couldn't even see that your life's receding.
Never could have guessed all the emotions you'd be needing,
Can't catch the shadow, the silhouettes fleeting.

The bones in your body never broke this much,
The skin on your hands didn't crack as such.
You thought that you were strong, but you let it slip away,
The person that I knew was so much brighter then today.

The soul behind your eyes, it screams for something less
The only part of you that's not afraid to just confess.
I see the canyons on your face, the sorrow in your breath,
I know another answer and it isn't pain or death.

Balanced on the line between insanity and freedom,
You always want the highs, but you don't really need 'em.
Come out of the haze, love, come and hold my hand,
I know you lost your legs but I will help you stand.
