Faint
The faintest smile from ear to ear
A facade of empty happiness is trying to appear on the surface
Of your desperate mask
Of your distant past of trauma
The hands you felt
The beating of your heart echoes in your ears
And it never leaves
It never seems to fade away to nothing
The scars reminding you of something you should of let go all those years ago
The blood drips red
Crimson red
And yet it keeps on seeping through the bandage
Words escape and somehow can't break through your throat
It's closed: the doors will never open again
And again and again and again and again
And I know you will fall
I know you will fall
I know you will
Fall down the stairs
Bruises piling up like papers on a desk
You're just a vacant mold of where a decent human should have been
But it's long gone now
Can you imagine a place far far above the clouds where nothing could come crashing down on us?
Because we need to feel something
We need a hand to hold us through this never-ending storm of blood and guts
And when all is lost
At least we have lots of time and distance below us
The sudden stop will surely kill us
And I know we will fall
I know we will fall
I know we will fall
I know we can fall
