less like scars

it's been a hard year

but i'm climbing out of the rubble

these lessons are hard

healing changes are subtle

but every day it's

less like tearing

more like building

less like captive

more like willing

less like breakdown

more like surrender

less like haunting

more like remember

and i feel you here

and you're picking up the pieces

forever faithful

it seemed out of my hands

a bad situation

but you are able

and in your hands the pain and hurt

look less like scars and more like

character

less like a prison

more like my room

it's less like a casket

more like a womb

less like dying

more like transcending

less like fear

less like an ending

and i feel you here

and you're picking up the pieces

forever faithful

it seemed out of my hands

a bad situation

but you are able

and in your hands the pain and hurt

look less like scars

just a little while ago

i couldn't feel the power or the hope

i couldn't cope

i couldn't feel a thing

just a little while back

i was desperate

broken

laid out

hoping

you would come

and i need you

and i want you here

and i feel you

and i know you're here

and you're picking up the pieces

forever faithful

it seemed out of my hands

a bad

bad situation

but you are able

and in your hands the pain and hurt

look less like scars

and more like

character
