These swollen faces

appear below

from cold, dark places

I'm scared to go.



They have no secrets

they tell no lies

they trade in weakness

I've seen their eyes



[Bridge]

Someday you'll need to stand

tall again, stronger and

they'll be there to share the pain with you

and you know that you'll need them too



[Chorus]

You're this close to your place in the world.

This close, and you've almost made it.

All the faces that you see

smile back and point away.

You're this close and how love you've waited.



I change direction

I change my mind

I've found protenction

to hide behind



But I'm tired of fighting

'cause I've slowly found

these wounded creatures

they're all around



[Bridge and Chorus x2]
