My knees are bruised, my eyes burned with salt
If only I could just reach you now
If only you could see me now, but you're too far down
If only you knew how hard I tried, how hard I cried
If only you knew that I knew it all along
Hanging on the edge as we watch the angels fall from above
The substance caused the roots to crumble
Cannot be seen, they're blinded by the light
And every eye from above warned that demons don't give up
We all stumble, we all fall, but it's faith that picks us up
And I've been trying to open your eyes
To let the light in, but the demons said it wasn't time
You said it wasn't right
How could you let them get to you
I see every move you take and every little mistake that you make
And every lie that you tell yourself because you just can't take the pain
I just can't reach you, you'd never understand
But really, daddy's little pills won't save you now
My knees are bruised my eyes burned with salt
If I could only just reach you now but you're too far gone
You're too far gone now
Wake up (wake up) the stars burn for you
Wake up (wake up) the planets turn for you
If only I knew why this picture looked so wrong
If only I could save you now
But I have to save myself
