Trust Me

Mother
I do not want to eat my supper
The world is shades of gray
No color, color
Can you please help me, help me, mother
And mother
Please give me skin that grows in tougher
I used to know the way to suffer, mother
Now I can't tell winter from summer
The body is wise
But mine is broken
Unsteady tides
Of my emotion
They say trust yourself
But how do you know when?
How do you know when?
How do you know?

What if I fall into the abyss?
What if I swing only just to miss?
What if the rose looks pretty but the thorns cut me?
What if I make a terrible mistake?
The tunnel light could just dissipate
What if the weight's so heavy I let it crush me?
But what if I trust me?
What if I trust me?
What if I, what if I trust me?

Pressure
I only want to make it better
What if the nothing lasts forever, ever?
And I give way under the pressure?
Terror
That I could make another error
But if I trust that I'll recover, mother
Then that which scares me loses power

What if I fall into the abyss?
What if I swing only just to miss?
What if the rose looks pretty but the thorns cut me?
What if I make a terrible mistake?
The tunnel light could just dissipate
What if the weight's so heavy I let it crush me?
But what if I trust me?
What if I trust me?
What if I, what if I trust me?

I'm okay
I'm okay
It's okay if I don't quite believe it yet
I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm slowly re-growing all the skin I shed
Learning to trust myself again
Learning to trust myself

So if I fall into the abyss
I guess that's just where I'm gonna live
I'll stitch the wounds any time the thorns cut me
And I could make a terrible mistake
The tunnel light may just dissipate
I'll learn to see better in the dark, honey
I'll learn how to trust me
What if I trust me
