lyrics

(Singing)
Hold me up
For I feel like I am made of glass
And the wind
Is blowing so fierce and fast
If I fall
I may shatter into dust

Hold me down
For I feel the need to fly away
And I’m haunted
By the fears of yesterday
They ask me why
Why would I even stay

Hold me tight
For I feel like I may come apart
And this life
Is tearing at my very heart
It may stop
Its beat and never restart

(spoken)
Hold me up for I feel like I am made of glass
I am everything I fear
of sorrows and laughter,
I am the worst at what I am best
A denial, A gift, the heart of the blessed
I search to find my proper place
without wind or without breath

I am cold or I am burning
I am joy or I am hurting

I am distant yet connected
Fully alive yet hollow inside
set in my ways yet confused
Like a sunflower in the storms

every morning I claim as yesterday
as what was
for tomorrow
even tomorrow will soon enough be gone as dust as ash
Hold me up for I feel like I am made of glass
