Did you crack your ribs
& break your bones
Trying to turn humans
Into homes
Did they ever
See you cry
Clipped your wings
So you can't fly
Did you somehow
Lose your voice
And forget that
You had a choice
You shouldn't
Have to try so much
Will you crumble
Or burn at the touch
Caught between
A whisper and scream
Somewhere dancing
In a dream
The light, the light
Somewhere dark
Words that soothe
A broken heart
Calling me, calling me
Sad, sweet song
