Porcelain - Phildel

How long do I hold on?

How long do I hold on?

Here, wearing this dress

Though my hair is a mess

I’m hoping you’ll see the distance in me

Here, faced with the ice

The cold of the sky

Freezing its way through the heart of the day

You, neutral scene

Turn color down

'Til I’m, I’m porcelain

And cracking now

Here, treading ground that I know

Bare over stone

The circles I form on the landscapes are drawn

Matching my mind in their endless design

No, the pain’s not your fault

You say I’m made of salt

You can’t rub it in, it was born on my skin

You, neutral scene

Turn color down

'Til I’m, I’m porcelain

And cracking now

How long do I hold on?

Wearing this dress, I’m still holding my breath

How long do I hold on?

Can you give me the faith to be heartless and brave?

You, silent thing

Turn color down

'Til I’m, I’m porcelain

And cracking now
