Braille

Have you been here before? Seems you know the way out
Hands against the wall, like you're bracing for bad news
And I've always been told to fear the let down
Pacing the hallways up and down the ICU

We're going strong, but it's been 4 months since you found out
And you knew it all along, now it's growing on your mind
Spreading ideas inside your head, like how they guarantee its certain
But you can't accept

Until they take me away, I'm fighting just as hard as I know
And I won't ever close my eyes
In case they lead me astray these hands need something solid to hold
Up against all odds I know I will, survive

Now they're keeping you contained within these four walls
Finding comfort in the safety of what you know
But the numbers don't lie, just await the deep fall
Praying you'll make it through the week, so you'll come

Home to find that's nothing changed, the needles in your veins
And the machines tell me how I feel, through the secret war I wage
And trace my fingers cross these lines to feel
the words they raised, but I can't read the page

Until they take me away, I'm fighting just as hard as I know
And I won't ever close my eyes
In case they lead me astray these hands need something solid to hold
Up against all odds I know I will, survive

Prove to me, help me see I'm not blind as I believe
Please God, I only need some clarity

Until they take me away, I'm fighting just as hard as I know
And I won't ever close my eyes
In case they lead me astray these hands need something solid to hold
Up against all odds I know I will, survive
Until they take me away, I'm fighting just as hard as I know
And I won't ever close my eyes
In case they lead me astray these hands need something solid to hold
Up against all odds I know I will, survive
