lyrics

Is this what it takes to be happy these days
To feel loved, comforted, and appreciated
And I understood, even when I was young
That these dark shadows would whirl throughout your body
But not this badly

These scars were made from a soft mind left stranded
Left out, in the cold
The coldest of dirt, to suffer
But how should I reach you
With these arms out?
Open up my palms
To seal an embrace?
I'm not sure I can

Cause I love you
But I don't love the portraits you paint of yourself
With toxic, crippled brushes
Your blurred, slurred words and bloodshot eyes
It’s the face of surrender
Don't let it show
