If it didn’t hold me together
I scrape off my skin
Every freckle, every blemish
Smooth, red porcelain
But my skin was made to stretch and feel
And keep my insides in
This skin was made to stretch and feel
And I want to feel again
If it didn’t keep me in motion
I’d tear out my heart
Every murmur, every pulsation
Every broken part
But this heart was made to beat and ache
And keep my insides in
This heart was made to beat and ache
And I want to ache again
If it didn’t make me human
I’d trade in my soul
All the shame and compassion
To deprecate and extol
But my soul was made to live and breathe
Fill this life I’m in
My soul was made to live and breathe
And I want to breathe again
If it didn’t weigh the options
I would lose my mind
Every thought, every expression
Brainwashed, brain-dead, and resigned
But my mind was made to pick and choose
Regret every decision
This mind was made to pick and choose
And I want to choose again
