[Verse 1]

Now you know why I call you home

With your arms wrapped around me

Slip and fall in the abyss

But you catch me

Thought I died a thousand times

But I'm standing

But I’m standing

And you know I'm getting old

As my bones start to buckle

Tried to run but I can't move

So I stumble

It was hard to let you in

But I still did

But I still did

[Bridge]

And you made it safe

And you made it safe for me to breathe

Made it safe

Made it safe

[Verse 2]

It’s hard to clean my oozing wounds

It's hard to feel like I'm deserving of the love I get from you

It's hard to sleep under this moon

Because I only have nightmares

And they're all about losing you

"Trust me"

You say, "Just trust me"

But it's been centuries and I can't stop the bleeding

But you say, "Oh, please"

"Open your heart to me"

But I've been armored for so long

A glance would kill me

I can’t show myself

Because my spirit is frail

And I can’t even trust my instincts 'cause they’re broken as well

So, I'll show no one else

What's inside of my shell

It's been so long that I’ve forgotten who I really am

[Outro]

Wish I could be a marionette

Someone else use me, and empty my hands

I'm scared to look within and see who I am

What if I hate it?

What am I to do then?
