Crack Stone
by Death is Not Glamorous· from Soft Clicks
like scratching an itch that won't subside
losing perspective at 4 o'clock at night
alone and walking in empty city streets
self-doubt is the glue holding down my feet
the holes in my shoes that i can't fill
the hole in my heart that i can't fill
the cold in my bones that keeps coming in
the cold in me that spreads over my skin
it slows me down slows me to a stop
grinds me to a halt brings me to the blacktop
"if i change the way i look at things
the things i look at might change"
they might change
that i stop, time waits for no one
sometimes the time it takes is the speed of sound
loud to crack stone, buck the weight of this world
to stand on my own, strength enough to stand alone
from my side i pull there thorns and i'm reborn
born again, born against
