The Ken Burns Effect - Patient Sixty-Seven

Gathering my thoughts

They can’t stay contained

How am I expected to be everything when

It feels like I’m living in my own nightmare, and

I’ve always been so sure of a new start

That we’d find through the good in our hearts

Picking up the pieces shouldn’t be this hard

These cuts might heal

But they will leave scars

Gather the strength to break the mold

Breaking down the walls that held your soul

Things have never seemed so bleak before

It made it all so hard to bare

(All the reason to care, I always will)

After everything you’ve faced

For your own sake

You have so much left to give

You were never meant to fade away

The mind can will itself over the soul

Can’t it

We’ve been stuck in this space alone

No one made me aware to the fact

That one person could break the world you once had intact

Gather the strength

To break the mold

Breaking down the walls

That once held your soul

I know now that you’re becoming whole

Because you’re facing the demons

That once had their hold on you

They once had a hold on you

But you shouldn’t have to pick these pieces

On your own

Pick up these pieces on your own

Things have never seemed so bleak before

It made it all so hard to bare

(All the reason to care, I always will)

After everything you’ve faced

For your own sake

You have so much left to give

You were never meant to fade away

For so long

There were doubts

About the good in your heart

You needed to see

You mean too much to me
