Listing reasons for breathing,
Why my heart should keep beating,
It all comes down to you.
You're the reason I put the pills down
You're my anchor, my heart, and my truth.
If I could save you from the world, I would, and I've tried,
I'm protecting You from me every time that I lie.
Because you can't see the bottle, the smoke or the scars,
I'm filled up with monsters, and you can't know what they are.
Binging and purging, starving and carving sin into my skin.
If I hurt me I hurt you,
I live to hear you laugh.
I know you could make it all alone,
But you don't have to do it on your own.
And even if I die tonight
In the end you'll be alright,
You'll hear fire, tearing through the air
big brother don't be scared.
Know the sound of your sister's soul,
Know that the monsters swallowed her whole
You're the strongest man I've ever known
I know your smile better than I know my own
And when I'm only ashes in the air
Remember that I'm always there.
