This sand is speckled
With shards of broken glass, you warned
As I dragged my feet along the shore
And laughed at your concern
I’d offer you my heart
My soul!
If you would care to take them
You see this fragile skin of mine?
My pulse running swiftly beneath a flimsy barrier?
Ah - but if I could give it all to you
To offer you the very bones that stack up tall
To unravel myself
From the edge of my forehead
Down to my heels
If I could reach within and pull out
The very fibers of my thoughts
The fragmented systems
And lost causes
For I would offer you my heart, my soul, and more
If you would care to take them
With shards of broken glass, you warned
As I dragged my feet along the shore
And laughed at your concern
I’d offer you my heart
My soul!
If you would care to take them
You see this fragile skin of mine?
My pulse running swiftly beneath a flimsy barrier?
Ah - but if I could give it all to you
To offer you the very bones that stack up tall
To unravel myself
From the edge of my forehead
Down to my heels
If I could reach within and pull out
The very fibers of my thoughts
The fragmented systems
And lost causes
For I would offer you my heart, my soul, and more
If you would care to take them
