So cold in the breaking hours

How we prayed for winter

So we could share our warmth

But the dawn comes on bitter

The voices still echo

From early morning phone calls

That never brought good news

Still holding this broken mirror

So old in this life long fever

A new face to be shamed hidden in every crack

Yes I know it’s just shattered glass

But it feels like I may never find my way home

And I’ll never get used to this part

The failure of my human heart

It gives everything away

That I just want to hold inside

To keep one thing in this life

Safe from prying eyes

All these lies all this time

How are we not collapsing?

How do I hope for a life I know I don’t deserve?

I know…

All these lies all this time

How are we not collapsing?

How do I hope for a life I know I don’t deserve?

So cold in the breaking hours

How we prayed for winter

So we could share each other’s warmth

But the dawn comes on bitter when no one is calling

The perfect reflection, the reason I’m falling

I shatter to fragments

They pierce through the new skin

Crawl back in the mirror

And noone will look in

How do I hope for a life?
