Breaking
Do you hear me breaking?
Can you see the cracks?
Do you remember the little boys
Who made up secret pacts?
All the innocence lost now,
Faded to the sea
As it sinks softly to the sand
Do you see it's breaking me?
Do you look into the mirror
With your cold and shattered eyes?
Do you try and escape the darkness
That's buried deep inside?
Do you search for a lifeline?
For a hidden glowing light
That's somewhere in front of you
But somehow out of sight
I can guide you through the darkness
I can take away your fears
I can take all the pain away
And dry your bitter tears
I can be your heavens helper,
I can take you by the hand
I can help you find a sanctuary
Why can't you understand?
Is it because I'm different Dan?
From the razors at your feet
Are they your only relief
From the hatred that you meet
When you log on to your computer
And read the words of hate
That are more powerful than sticks and stones
And magnify your taste
For the harmful lowly weapons
Scattered across the floor
Why won't you let me help you?
Instead of running out the door...
The light is always fading
Washing to the sea
As it melts, like ice, into the ground
Dan, Oh, Dan, Can you see it's breaking me?
