Kintsugi

Another endless night and I close my eyes, I'll hope to go to sleep
I'll get that same nightmare when my brakes don't work and I'll wrap around a tree
Repair my cracks so well, keep the weakness where I hope that you can't see
The pressure of perfection, it's easier if you give up on me.

You never really cared as long as my cog stayed in the machine
Ask RUOK because corporate says it's good for the company
Follow dollar signs and you soon realize they'd kill if it was free
The pressure of perfection, it's easier if you give up on me

And it's not drowning if you let the water rush on in
Sink so deep into that void I'll find my comfort once again
The light inside my eyes is an anglerfish's trap
Don't you know
I'm made of darkness, I let it in

A millionth second chance with song and dance, a hope entirely false
Leopards can't change their spots till they're dead and buried, turning into dirt
Repair my cracks with gold, I'll find the beauty in impurity
The first crack hurt the most, the 50th, I hardly notice

And it's not drowning if you let the water rush on in
Sink so deep into that void I'll find my comfort once again
The parts of me you loved are the parts I let you see
Don't you know
I'm made of darkness and let it in

A moment to reflect about a boy I met who's going through much more
I watch him sink like me so I'll overreach cause I just can't let you fall
Why can I throw myself to help someone else? I can't do the same for me
A new friend to the broken, I guess it's all I really wanted

And it's not drowning if you let the water rush on in
Sink so deep into that void I'll find my comfort once again
The parts of me you loved are the parts I let you see
Don't you know I'm made of darkness and let it in

And it's not drowning if you let the water rush on in
Sink so deep into that void I'll find my comfort once again
The cold will let you sleep but it won't let you wake up
Don't you know I'm made of darkness and let it in
