The branches of the blood trees
scratch at my windows...
I can feel your presence all around me
pulling me deeper, holding me close...
Why try?
You never win...
I'm looking back at all the times that you said
'It'll be okay...
I'm looking back at all the broken yesterdays
like you said never to do...
You may lose your memory but you never lose your...
just stand outside and let your tears be mingled...
I'm staring at the sky
hoping to catch a glimpse of the universe...
I stand with my eyes raised high
my arms away from my sides...
When I was little my daddy told me
I'd be okay...
Shattered from the inside out
Pierced within by shards of doubt...
I'm bleeding in your arms
crying from the inside out...
I look ahead
never turn back...
