Her matchstick figure lit the room
Her eyes like clocks that counted down her damage
and saw right through you
It seemed she watched right from the edge
still it would be easy to forget her
Or that's what she said
I wonder if she dreams,
or if she tries to find relief,
In the somewhere deep inside her.. somewhere out of reach.
She turns to flash a tousled smile
and tilts her head to prove that she can hear me
I found her miles
Away from stability
She shakes so hard she blurs the cues around her
while holding onto me
How did she ever get this far
slipping back into the scars
They're the only ones who repair her"¦when she falls apart
Hollow bones can help her fly
but distant pain can be denied
and I'm watching as she falters- through another lie
The only plan she sees in this world
The disintegration of a girl
and her hands just fold and tremble
like wounded birds.
I found her sitting all alone
she said she felt a sickness there inside her
At least it was her own
I watched her stare into the sun
and understood that I could never save her
She's the only one.
In so deep
crushed by defeat
Can she rock her pain to sleep
Just for the night
tuck it in tight
so she can find the space to breathe
Eyes set wide
in the dark
hear her crack with every beat of her heart
If she should break
before she wakes
maybe then there'd be nothing to take
Hollow bones can help her fly
but distant pain can be denied
and I'm watching as she falters-through another lie
The only plan she sees in this world
The disintegration of a girl
and her hands just fold and tremble
like wounded birds.
