The Damaged

Red is the color of my heart
As it cries hush, hush
Pouring like the river torn apart
As it pleads hush, hush

Keep stepping further from the scene
Whisper softly hush, hush
Wreckage scattered wildly, crumbling
Look away and hush, hush

I don't want to be the one who's broken
I don't want to be the one who falls apart
I don't want to be damaged

Keep binding, sewing, mending
No one notice, hush, hush
Stitches gather wounds and keep them clean
Mine are numbered, hush, hush

Face twitching, sweaty palms are
Tells mine are screaming, hush, hush
Eyes down and waiting for the gale
Start the tipping, hush, hush
