The days bleed away to the feelings inside

I haven’t known how it is I’m to survive

Drowning inside of this personal hell

With nothing to grasp but this shame in myself

And everything that was once gold turned to sand

It withered away and fell straight through my hands

Now I’m building castles with spirits and dust

I’m trying to fight, I don’t want to give up

I don’t know how it’s supposed to be

I’ve spent my entire life retreating from reality

It’s always seemed like such a rotten place

People will betray you with a smile on their face

But there’s something that stands out to me more so than all the others

It’s how those who have been knocked down seem to stand up for each other

And it’s never seemed to fail, the ones who have been hurt

Seem to accept so much more blame than anyone deserves

But it doesn’t burn as much, being looked at through that lens

When someone is beside you, and you trust in their intent

For those who have ached in similar ways

Will do all that they can not to cause others pain

And even if the rest of the world disagreed

We don’t need them to tell us we deserve to breathe

There’s so much more to this world than we see

There are people that I know would surely miss me

The love that I feel goes deep into my bones

I crawl into his arms and feel closer to home

My comfort, my love and my truest friend

Knows the pain, and the fears, and pulls me tighter in

He’s seen all too much of the darker side

Struggled with demons he tries his best to hide

We might be a little bit misunderstood

But as long as we’ve got each other, I’m good
