Now you know why I call you home With your arms wrapped around me Slip and fall in the abyss But you catch me Thought I died a thousand times But I'm standing But I'm standing And you know I'm getting old As my bones start to buckle Try to run but I can't move So I stumble It was hard to let you in But I still did But I still did And you made it safe And you made it safe for me to breathe Made it safe Made it safe It's hard to clean my oozing wounds It's hard to feel like I'm deserving of the love I get from you It's hard to sleep under this moon Because I only have nightmares and they're all about losing you Trust me You say just "Trust me" But It's been centuries and I can't stop a bleeding But you say "Oh, please" "Open your heart to me" But I've been armored for so long a glance would kill me I can't show myself, because my spirit is frail And I can't even trust my instincts because they're broken as well So, I'll show no one else What's inside of my shell It's been so long that I've forgotten who I really am Wish I could be a marionette Someone else use me and empty my hands I'm scared to look within and see who I am What if I hate it? What am I to do then?
