Slow it down, keep it from going
Need to grow, and to heal is what I should do
Step back, tongue burns like acid
Family waits, then strays me away from you
Pick it up, pick up the broken bits
Gather scraps and hold a bundle in my hand
Hold it tight, you better grasp It now
It’s melting, it’s crushing, it’s broken and burnt in flames
Set it free, the castle walls are down
And to get in you have to let it go
I believe in tragedy
I know it, I’m feeling, I’m healing but I’m hurting bad
Take it back
Don’t want the healing
The healing reddens the scar
