Girl, perfectly her, broken and hurt Soft and asleep in the morning gray Shake off the night and don't hide your face The sun lights the world with a single flame I want you to see this I want you to see this Today and all of your days, I'll wear your pain Heal what I can in your troubled mind Sometimes our bodies will hurt for some time And the beauty in that can be hard to find I want you to find it I want you to see this So run, wake up and run my little one I wanna tear down these walls that can't hold you inside And rip out the cords and uncover your eyes We'll make our escape in the dark of night I need you to see this Girl You'll see the world and you'll come to learn That falling in love is a strange work of art All of your battles will shape who you are And know that your scars are my favorite part I want you to know this

Covered in dust The wings of my porcelain dove They don't trouble the waters my love Frozen in time Fragile to touch She melts like the words on my tongue The goddess of heavenly love Fades outta sight All your stars are in view I get lost loving you Dark was the night Her shape burned a void in my eyes It was black but so violently bright Like the birth of a sun So I cried out But my voice could not be heard aloud For held here safe in my mouth The bird was done All your stars are in view I get lost loving you

Come now child the day is long Hide not yourself from me Angels sing the final song Silence will turn to sleep Take heed my son The darkness will come Blackholes will bend the proudest ones And change up your symmetry Just as the night swallows the sun I know you'll come for me Take heed my son The darkness will come Take heed my son The darkness will come Rest now, my child, the day is done The dark comes for everything Inside the heart of everyone There lives infinity
