It's in my head that I needed a way to feel okay, but I know this is it right now.
In my defense, it's been a hell of a year, but things won't change unless I harness the change myself.
I don't think I need your help.
I tell myself to make amends, question omnipotence....
If I'm a tapped wire, then you know...
I've got both grips on my chest, and I seem to have a handle,
at least a little bit better than when I thought you had the other side.
I'm terrified of consequence, but it cannot hold a candle to the barrel in my brain with only pride to gain.
I never had intentions of being on the losing team, but I'm tired of being haunted by the thought police.
Doubt is not my demise.
When they left, I believed, and in death, I believed.
Make a mess; I'd believe for a blessing in disguise.
All the trials, I believe, put to the test, I believed.
Wounds undressed, I can't see because I chose to close my eyes.
Salt the top. Learn to sew. I can fend on my own.
Evidence never showed that you've been right by my side.
I'm okay not to know. It doesn't mean I'm alone.
I'm not afraid anymore; I finally believe in me.
I'd act the part, my words commit, but there's no use in faking it.
If I'm a tapped wire, then you know.

I don't want you to go.
We can make this work, I swear.
Please just give it some time.
We're in way too deep not to keep our hearts alive.
Breath in.
Chances of a storm agreed to place me next to you, hardly long enough just to call us back to what we came to do.
Seeing life to the world- it takes the life right out of me.
You changed my objective.
I destroyed my decree.
My temperature's rising while yours stays at the floor,
and new precipitation comes, despite what I'd implore.
Sitting on a thousand miles and two different degrees.
No, I may not believe in fate, but I'm begging you, please.
Don't forget why you kept things in motion,
fronted the hope that holds my devotion.
I've paid my time for far too long; give something back.
Maybe if you saw my face, you'd remember the way that you felt months ago, when love was all.
For all I am and all we were, don't let go.
Hold to faith.
Wait for me while I am away.
You're all that I have.
I've only half a year.
I swear I'll find you there.
...maybe if you heard my voice...
couldn't you have a little faith in me to close up the void?
Hold on.
I'm not going anywhere.
