The door broke when you slammed it shut

The cracks kept reaching long after you left

Through the floorboards, branching towards the hallLike vines that never rest

Climbing like fire through the walls

A single spark that claims the whole forest

I know, I know, it′s all for the best

But honestly, I would rather be

Safe from a distance, than here

When I fell to my knees

To sew the damage shut

I couldn't believe

A bright, staggering light

Came flooding into me

From out of the seams

& So I reached deeper in

& Pulled my whole world wide open

For each broken mile, a billion miracles

Happen at once

In everything

In everything

But I′m safe from a distance, right here

& Everything I love

Was made of porcelain

Ready to break

But the bright, staggering light

It anxiously waits inside

Like nesting dolls, the secret hides

& Like every birth

It was a necessary pain

I know, I know

It's all worth the wait

Worth the weight
