//./learn.not.to.fall././/

There's nothing like a broken home
to make you realize you were always alone
But these
//./shards/.// .of. //./heart/.// .ache.
are all thats left.

Begging your way out
of the things never done wrong
Begging to get out
cause you've been here too long
so you go out and
/.//make. .love .for. .the. .things. .that. .you. .hate//./

Between the walls
and a fractured door frame
You gather your strengths
but still curl up in shame and
you //./swallow.it.down.with.a.bottle.of.stolen.pills/.//

Your fighting with words
to win the things fair
Your writing the words
that no one can share
And you //./mail.it.off.to.the.places.you.should.be/.//

They're holding you down
They're hiding your face
You're screaming out loud
but its all such a waste
and you //./muffle.your.breath.with.just.one.more.hit//./

They beat you
They break you
They kill you
They take you
//./Away.from.everything.that.goes.right/.//

You rage with emotion
Drenched in your fears
You bottle your hatred
but drenched in your tears
But you //./wash.it.down.with.two.more.rounds.to.go/.//

I see you
You're seething
I feel you
You're breathing
But //./I.hear.a.pin.drop.in.the.emptiness.you.hide/.//

You're fading away
between the lies in your head
You're taking it out
between the sheets of your bed
But, tell me, //./can.he.make.this.right?.//./
But I'll still catch you
when you learn not to fall
