Here the winters grow cold.
It makes me dream of places that are far from my home.
Experiences flash before my eyes when they're closed.
I open them again and remember that those days are gone.
The holes in my story, the holes in my liver give their testimony
Cause they know secrets that are so unholy.
Some that were told and never were spoken of again.

But these wounds can mend.
This gift was not meant to be squandered and spent.
Healing is possible if you can accept that you deserve it.
Let down your defense, you don't have to earn it.
But you're running out of fight.
Too long you've been climbing up this heavy incline.
You've got it in your head that it's not in your stars -
Recovery is just outside the reach of your arms.

Bold as the day -
Aches in my heart and fog in my brain.
Wishing on eyelashes for better days.
Days when the fire in my eyes was fully ablaze.
But was it illumination?
Or maybe it was the illusionary nature
Of the poison I kept my mind contained in
Floating and festering, blistering bubbles of shame.

But these wounds can mend.
This gift was not meant to be squandered and spent.
Healing is possible if you can accept that you deserve it.
Let down your defense, you don't have to earn it.
But you're running out of fight.
Too long you've been climbing up this heavy incline.
You've got it in your head that it's not in your stars -
Recovery is just outside the reach of your arms.

Things seem to worsen.
Some days I wake up feeling like half a person.
Unable to cope with the amount that I'm hurting.
Thinking if I stand on my own, I may fall on the floor.
But I don't want to let go.
As sure as the sun peaks its light through the window,
Though the shade's been pulled tight so it can't quite get through.
Made it so far so I guess I am damned to survive.
