I will make a place
for you to fall.
I will make a space
for you to run.
You won’t need anything at all,
when I am done
you will hear me call.
At my table,
you will always have a place.
You will never have to be afraid
to show your face.
I will do everything
I can to make it safe.
I will make the ultimate escape.
I will take the pain
from your eyes.
I will strip you out of your disguise.
Open up the sky
and maybe you will realize,
we are more than dying fireflies.
I’ll wear my soul
on my outside.
I’ll show you I’m
broken inside,
so you can hope,
so you’re alive,
so you can leave,
those old reasons behind.
I will do my best to make you smile
and forget the world,
for a little while.
Light the dark
and color outside your lines.
I will show you it’s okay to try.
We both see the world
through the same
broken window pane.
Blinded by the cracks
and shattered sights.
I will show you how
to break that last
and final time,
until there’s nothing
between you and your life.
I will show you how
to burn your life,
until it shines.
I will give you more
that you can deny.
Open up your eyes
and you will never fear the night;
we are more than dying fireflies.
