Steel Within

(hmmmm) The ceiling knows my name by now

A cold reminder of the fall

I traced the cracks and made a vow

But shadows climbed the bedroom wall (gravity pulling me down)

It starts with just a single slip

The quiet loosening of my grip

I am breaking the glass

I am clearing the dust

Rebuilding the temple From ashes and rust

(shattered glass)

Two hundred days were swept away

In thirty seconds on the floor

But mercy meets me in the grey

I will not stay behind this door

It hurts to heal (it hurts to feel)

But I can stand

One step

One breath (ahhhh)
