A Splintered Mind
I got my triggers, it’s symptomatic
Got my reactions they’re automatic
And after all that I’ve been through
I project my fears on you
I’ve got my memories
Places I’ve been
Like wooden fragments stuck in my skin
And after all that i’ve been through
Try to hide my scars from you
I don’t want you to know
Cos I don’t want you to go
Could you still love me with a splintered mind
Could you still want me when you don’t know what you might find
Behind this shattered lens I see the world through
Colouring my thoughts, distorting my view
If I let you see what’s broken inside of me
Could you still love me
With a splintered mind
Sometimes I get so stuck in my head
Sometimes I can’t get out of my bed
This is just a side effect
You know I really want to connect
It’s cracked and it’s scarred
But I would, would give you my heart
Will you take me as I am
Would you catch me when I fall
Could you take me as I am
Will you catch me when I fall
If the splinter ran deeper could you help me pull it out
