If you look close enough,
You’ll notice how my knuckles are scarred purple in the cold,

If you look close enough,
You’ll notice how my feet haven’t moved in weeks,
I’ve heard that even the smallest step
Is better than no step,
But everytime I step forward,
I go in the wrong direction,

If you look close enough,
You’ll notice how my silence is greater
Than inadequate words,
you’ll notice that,
I’m not myself anymore.
