How does it make you feel
You carry the weight of your words by dragging your body along
Do you close your eyes on the way and imagine
The lines you have drawn
Does your back ache when you walk
How was the talking part to your therapist lately
Did you lie to their face about how much you really ache
Carrying all this weight
You used to protect me from your world
But it's your world that needs protecting
You dread when I thank you and take off
That vile sensation of dispersing
How do you deal with grief that makes your heart heavy
Listen, it took me a lifetime to learn
That all I needed was inside me already
How does it make you feel to realize you'll heal
Even if it's dark out
Will you trace the lines with your hands
Will relief make your soul comprehend
All those lines, they made me who I am
