lyrics

His story is woven into mine
His blood is the ink with which I write
He is the depths of shame
And the heights of joy
I’ll never know if I saw the truth
A hospital bed with a clouded view
Like looking through worn eyes -
Hazy and wet and refusing to cry
Feel the cracks form
On the skin of a strong arm
That holds on for as long as it can
But not a second more
While the love drips
Like some intravenous kiss
That hides the bruises so well
But cannot stop the fists
I was always so sure that I'd wanted to know
But the older I get the further I’d go
To avoid what's real
To talk about anything, anything
I was always so sure that I'd wanted to know
But the older I get the further I’d go
To avoid what's real
To talk about anything anything but
How the cracks formed
On the skin of a strong arm
That holds on for as long as it can
But not a second more
While the love drips
Like some intravenous kiss
That hides the bruises so well
But cannot stop the fists
