I can feel I am going a little numb

it's an old habit to clear my head.

I don't like things that surround me

it wraps all around me

and my nerves and my heart go dead



Hit the wall of real life and all the romance ends

the learning curve looks like a cliff again

It won't hang you up proud like the pictures you drew

You won't always like it, it won't always like you



Is it the grace that stumbles

the power that falls

the days we are brave to get up at all

For the long walk, and the hard race

Breathe in, breathe out in this broken place



A lot of what I've done I would not now do

you can't call it brave cause I never knew

the results of the toys I brought home through the years

Prince Charming always bored me to tears



They say the blade is a hard way to hold the knife

and you can't eat the scenery in a colorful life



But there's a comfort in knowing just how much to take

of whatever scares you enough to keep you awake

I am forward motion in a car I can't drive

afraid of the dark, do I sleep through the ride
