It's summer, so they say
I sit and watch the sunlight turn from red to grey

One look backward, the image is fractured
I never thought I'd get this far
when every step treads in the shards
A journey incomplete, I pull the glass out of my feet
And put back the pieces like broken bones healing

What does it matter
When pieces I gather
Are torn up and scattered
I crack, snap and shatter my bones
Feel my skin turn to stone again

Affliction's left its mark on me
my temper vapid and heartless
Submission force feeds my apathy
but every breath is catharsis

Cautious & optimistic, life fucks me up sometimes
but I don't want to miss it
I'm still wading through this bull shit
And I meant it when I said it life will eat you if you let it

(All cut and sewn, so overgrown)

I am the rocks on the shore
your waves always break over me
Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core
Gave up trying to run away
It's with me every step I take
Rise to my feet
This earth will never know my knees
