All my life I fit right in
But you took perfection and dropped a pin
Your sudden clatter changed my fate
I was Heaven bound but at Satan’s gate
Life, being split in half
Never the same again
Crying, it never ends
I can't defend myself
From all the feelings
Deep beneath, not hard to reach
If just they could see
How much it hurts me

Crying, it never ends
I can't defend myself
From all the feelings

If just they could see
How much it hurts me

Here they go again
All these fights won't ever end
The kids are crying. There's no more trying.
And your job needs you to work late
I see you walking out the door
"Listen to the forest. Breathe; this is home."
When I say this to myself, I am you.
I become Daddy's footprints.
My first steps were on top of feet
with fingers held in weathered hands
I was still a child when you took your lies,
And slid them between my fourth and fifth ribs.
I cried that night,
And for the first time I didn’t wish you were there to hold me.

Words become unspoken
memories are left to be broken
distance seperates you from me,
and time gets in the way of everything
don't blame me
I'm just a human being
My emotions wilt like a will tree
Alone, cold, hopeless
Searching for Light in the dark
Found by the Father
