The Scope Of All Of This Rebuilding

(album: Home, Like NoPlace Is There - 2014)

You cut our ropes,
Left the umbilical,
And now I carry around this weight of broken hope.
I can't retrace,
And I lost my hold
And blame myself cause that is all I'll ever know.

Your face shows doubt
When your head feels the wake of the sorrow.
Swore to me that you could live without
Then the beg turns to take turns to borrow.
Help me down. I just want this out.
When you bend, when you break, when you follow
So you cut me out.

Then you cut our ropes,
Left the umbilical,
And now I'm lost and I can't take this path back home.
Send a birthday card.
Leave a one-way note.
I lied. I'm sorry. This isn't easy. I don't know.

And you'd ask me to "open your walls to this."

But I'm scared,
Fingers broken,
And ill-prepared
To let this drag out.

When you forgot the words to our song. (I can't make this better)
When you can't remember names it's been too long.
When you stopped asking what was wrong (It fell out of my hands)
All the pressure built up it was too strong. (cause I just wasn't built to hold on)

And I can't remember names, it's been too long.
And I can't find your face in the crowd.

I made a promise said my eyes would stay shut
Through something called the scope of all this rebuilding.
I broke when I entered. Displaced from the center,
I can't find my way around this.

My wounds healed while my fingers fixed
