The Ken Burns Effect

Gathering my thoughts
They can't stay contained
How am I expected to be everything when
It feels like I'm living in my own nightmare and
I've always been so sure of a new start
That we'd find through the good in our hearts
Picking up the pieces shouldn't be this hard
These cuts might heal
But they will leave scars
They will leave scars

Gather the strength to break the mold
Breaking down the walls that held your soul

Things have never seemed so bleak before
It made it all so hard to bear
All the reason to care, I always will
After everything you have faced
For your own sake
You have so much left to give
You were never meant to fade away

The mind can will itself over the soul
Can't it
We've been stuck in this space alone
No one made me aware to the fact
That one person could break the world you once had intact

Gather the strength to break the mold
Breaking down the walls
That once held your soul
I know that you're becoming whole
Because you're facing the demons
That once had their hold on you
They once had a hold on you

But you shouldn't have to pick up these pieces
On your own
Pick up these pieces on your own

Things have never seemed so bleak before
It made it all so hard to bear
All the reason to care, I always will
After everything you have faced
For your own sake
You have so much left to give
You were never meant to fade away

For so long
There were doubts
About the good in your heart
You needed to see
You mean too much to me
