the deafening silence

a holy name, its all the same.
protection can only go as far as your perfection of parenting goes,
and even then the individual has its own soul.
just let it go.
 
palm to palm, my hands meet
what do you want to keep me from?
i’ll use this joke of a halo you’ve placed on my head
to choke away any feeling of remorse or regret.

what i need to say,will today be that day?
i’ll bite my tongue until i draw blood.
what good is it if you don’t listen, huh?
so i’ll let it go.
 
palm to palm my hands meet.
what are you trying to keep me from?
hurting or being hurt, doesn’t matter i still end up burnt.
when will it be my turn to learn?
 
i can hurt inside out,
but how long until you figure it out?
how naive to think the innocence would last.
take your one last gasp
its time to see what its like to be drowning in infinite lies.
fill me up with what is wrong and right
punish me for my sins and good deeds alike
i keep my virtue for me
and give it up as i please.
 
palm to palm my hands meet.
there is nothing you can keep from me.

pick yourself up love, go on and pick yourself up.
you’ve been here before, you can set down your red cup.
there’s a reason for the things that happen,
but your holding in too much.
tell it all to me i’ll be your confidant;
i’ll be here all night and even after morning comes.
you won’t hear a burst of laughter escape from my lips,
i won’t go on and make fun of you when i know how hard it is.
 
pick yourself up love, go and pick yourself up.
you can’t justify the means, you’ve had about enough.
i’ll hold you close to me
until the pain inside subsides.
don’t feel dumb to tell me everything,
i’ve heard it all and the worst.
i can’t help but try to make it go away with just a simple kiss.
i’ll be there when you need me to tell you how it is.
 
pick yourself up love, go on and pick yourself up.
i made you strong so you can deal when it gets tough.
when you’ve given it all up and you’ve lost sight of yourself,
just look for me. i’ll be there like no one else.
i’ll fill your heart with light when it all seems so dim.
i’ve given it all up for you, down to the last sin,
so rest assured i’ll be there as long as you let me in.
 
well, my darling please….
pick yourself up love, go on and pick yourself up
too much time has been wasted worrying about your screw ups.
 you know what you need to do
 and you know who you want to be so its about time you get up.
give up what put you down
you won’t need anything if you’ve got me around.
