Renaissance

This is my renaissance This is my one response This is the way I say I love you This is my second chance This is my one romance This is the cutting line On which I stand to show you It happened fast in a flash just this evening I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing My sister's on the right side just slightly leaning I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing My brothers in the back jaw cracked from the beating The breath in my chest has slipped and I'm sinking Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass I'm trying to remember all the words you said in the past Through the ash, siren screams and red beams I hear you sing softly to me I can be the wall when you fall down Find me on the rocks when you break down I heard it in the song when you call out But I got to say now it's got to change I can be the wall when you fall down Find me on the rocks when you break down I heard it in the song when you call out But I got to say now it's got to change, right now This is my broken heart This is my bleeding start This is the way I've come to know you This is my winding road This is my way back home This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through I got a letter today of why she went away She said 'it's better this way, you knew I never could stay' Half empty closets and frames, all that's left to my name As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain Three years I've built this two face tower for hours on a lease You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace IN pieces I've broken open to think too much or just enough Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand Spent my life this far on castles made of sand Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand Now I can finally stand I can be the wall when you fall down Find me on the rocks when you break down I heard it in the song when you call out But I got to say now it's got to change I can be the wall when you fall down Find me on the rocks when you break down I heard it in the song when you call out But I got to say now it's got to change I can be the wall when you fall down Find me on the rocks when you break down I heard it in the song when you call out But I got to say now it's got to change I can be the wall when you fall down Find me on the rocks when you break down I heard it in the song when you call out But I got to say now it's got to change And I can be the wall I heard it in the song And I can be the wall I heard it in the song This is my renaissance This is my one response This is the way I say I love you
