Craters

[Verse 1]

There’s a crater in my living room floor

I have to walk around just to get to my front door

And it’s embarrassing having people over

Watching them politely trying not to fall

Trying not to fall

[Verse 2]

There’s a crater in the middle of my chest

I’ve had to rearrange each organ and I confess

It’s been a little hard having people notice

Everything I feel

Deep inside me when

I’m just trying to pretend

[Chorus]

I know one day they’ll fill in

I know it will be fine

I know by now becoming whole again

Just takes time

We all need a story of hitting rock bottom sometimes

And these craters will be a part of mine

[Verse 3]

There’s a crater on the left side of my bed

I have to lie facing the right side or I get upset

And it’s humiliating having lovers over

Watching them retreat backwards down the hall

Not mentioning it at all

[Chorus]

I know one day they’ll fill in

I know it will be fine

I know by now becoming whole again

Just takes time

We all need a story of hitting rock bottom sometimes

And these craters will be a part of mine

[Bridge]

But I’m gonna launch right off the bottom

Of the deep holes you left

I’m gonna use these scrappy wings

I found while cleaning out my chest

And I’m gonna soar so beautifully

It’ll hurt your eyes

But today it’s just these craters and I

[Chorus]

I know one day they’ll fill in

I know that I’ll be fine

I know by now becoming whole again

Just takes time

We all need war stories to look back on and smile

And goddamn it, these craters will be mine
