It's been awhile since I have had the words to explain
The apathy that rattles inside of my brain
A tortured space
Painfully passive in a desperate desire to escape

I am caught in the whirlwind of a broken kaleidoscope
As the fractured pieces of glass travel down my throat
Tiny splintered beacons of wounded hope
Till you came along to make me once again feel whole

Would you hold me while I weep
Till the darkness inside of me
Becomes a sort of homesickness for your arms while I sleep
Hold me while I weep
While the broken pieces of my healing psyche
Grasps that you won't leave

There is a doomed part of me that yearns to recede internally
Naturally destined to be alone for eternity
I wonder what you're thinking when your eyes meet my fears that you're the enemy
But your smile just comes with gentle reminders that I am always worthy

Hold me while I weep
Till the pierced voice deep inside of me
Reminds me it's okay not to scream
Hold me while I weep
Till the fears that try to choke my dreams
No longer take away my peace
