Almost Home

The state of my mending improved
I’m tearing the monster apart
Because of you
I’m thinking aloud with my heart
So you see through
All the things I was told would make people believe
In what I do
Cut the chord I’m attached to

Oh, but I’m almost home
She showed me that shadows can choose
Now I’m almost home

The spirit is moved and my body’s not moving at all
But my jaw’s hanging open
The fact that you won’t take credit
Makes you more beautiful
Than humanly possible

You’re helping me change what I am
But I’m holding back from the truth
Of finished start
I know that I’m not half the man
That you need to cradle your hand
(let this ignition change colors instead
And I’ll hurt and I’ll suck it in)

The spirit is moved and my body’s not moving at all
But my jaw’s hanging open
The fact that you won’t take credit
Makes you more beautiful
Than humanly possible
Light from your eyes blinds my iris I crumble inside
And there’s rivulets dampening
Every strand of your hair as you pull down the walls
And I’m taken back by inspiration

Maybe you’re what I need
But I make myself lose
Oh, come on…
It’s not like I wanted to.
