Sleeping At Last - Porcelain lyrics

rate me

<br>

The door broke when you slammed it shut, <br>And the cracks kept reaching long after you left. <br>Through the floorboards, branching towards the hall, <br>Like vines that never rest... <br>Climbing like fire through the walls. <br>A single spark that claims the whole forest - <br>I know, I know...it's all for the best. <br>But honestly, I would rather be <br>Safe from a distance than here... <br> <br>When I fell to me knees <br>To sew the damage shut, <br>I couldn't believe... <br>A bright, staggering light <br>Came flooding into me <br>From out of the seams. <br> <br>So I reached deeper in <br>And pulled my whole world wide open, <br>And for each broken mile, a billion <br>Miracles happen at once <br>In everything...in everything. <br> <br>But I'm safe from a distance, right here. <br> <br>Everything I love <br>Was made of porcelain, <br>Ready to break. <br>But the bright, staggering light, <br>It anxiously waits inside. <br>Like nesting dolls, the secret hides. <br>And like every birth, <br>It was a necessary pain... <br>I know, I know... <br>It's all worth the wait, <br>Worth the weight<br>
