she can feel it
just at the end of her reach
she can feel it
pulling on the end of her sleeve
pulling her down
from all the light and color
to take a leap of faith

she can take it
just to the end of her rope
she can fake it
until she lets it go

down to every
precious thing that she gave
to someone that she trusted

will she hang it on the wall
or put it in the background
will she throw it all away
will she burn it on her skin
or put it in her pocket
for another lonely day

will she believe him
with the crumbs all around her bed
will she believe in me
or will she lock it in
or put it away
to never see
the burning glow
when the truth comes to life

will she hang it on the wall
or put it in the background
will she throw it all away
will she burn it on her skin
or put it in her pocket
for another lonely day

she'll hide it
tiny in her hand
underneath her dress
underneath her guarded skin
she'll hide it
where no one will know
where no one knows to go
where no one can get in again

will she hang it on the wall
or put it in the background
will she to drive them all away
will she burn it on her skin
or put it in her pocket
for another lonely day

will she hang it on the wall
or put it in the background
will she throw it all away
