"A year passed by and I'm alright...
I lick the salt from my wounds
and run into the night..."
Step by step,
I'm slowly going up,
thread by thread,
I'm sewing my wounds shut....
Hour by hour,
and I'm getting better,
rock by rock,
I'm building up my castle higher...
Little by little,
I'm cleaning up the mess,
day by day,
I finally care less and less...
"Did you ever look,
did you ever see that one person,
and the subtle way that
they do these things
and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down
the embers of a great blaze...
It's that moment
when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
You let this one person come down in the most perfect moment.
And it breaks my heart to know
the only reason you are here now is
a reminder of what I'll never have,
I'll never have..."
