ȦtmȧLuminȧ

staring at your own reflection 

darkness within imperfection 

scared to face what’s come to be

thinking, “is this really me?”

you’re fighting with yourself alone

why won’t you call up my phone?

give me hope then pull away

this love’s too much a price to pay

acid dripping down my throat

push me out and pull me close 

i wanna help but i don’t know 

how to love and not feel low

to lift your heart the price i pay

a piece of mine, just for the day

have mine until you’re strong enough

truth is hard, and lovin’s tough

and when i’m weak, i rest my case

i close my lips and hide my face 

don’t want you to know that i 

i lay alone at night and cry
