Porcelain
The door broke when you slammed it shut
The cracks kept reaching long after you left
Through the floorboards, branching towards the hall
Like vines that never rest
Climbing like fire through the walls
A single spark that claims the whole forest
I know, I know, it's all for the best
But honestly, I would rather be
Safe from a distance, than here
When I fell to my knees
To sew the damage shut
I couldn't believe
A bright, staggering light
Came flooding into me
From out of the seams
& so I reached deeper in
& pulled my whole world wide open
For each broken mile, a billion miracles
Happen at once
In everything
In everything
But I'm safe from a distance, right here
& everything I love
Was made of porcelain
Ready to break
But the bright, staggering light
It anxiously waits inside
Like nesting dolls, the secret hides
& like every birth
It was a necessary pain
I know, I know
It's all worth the wait
Worth the weight
The cracks kept reaching long after you left
Through the floorboards, branching towards the hall
Like vines that never rest
Climbing like fire through the walls
A single spark that claims the whole forest
I know, I know, it's all for the best
But honestly, I would rather be
Safe from a distance, than here
When I fell to my knees
To sew the damage shut
I couldn't believe
A bright, staggering light
Came flooding into me
From out of the seams
& so I reached deeper in
& pulled my whole world wide open
For each broken mile, a billion miracles
Happen at once
In everything
In everything
But I'm safe from a distance, right here
& everything I love
Was made of porcelain
Ready to break
But the bright, staggering light
It anxiously waits inside
Like nesting dolls, the secret hides
& like every birth
It was a necessary pain
I know, I know
It's all worth the wait
Worth the weight
