Splintered -

They never taught us how to love

So we use our pain to comfort us

And we never practice what we preach

Instead we find someone else to teach

We try not to see with our eyes

And fill our plates with dozens of lies

We try so hard to keep it in

We turn away from what lies within

We are splintered and we are rotten

Deep within the walls that we’ve forgotten

All the answers to all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

We’re so afraid to be alone

So we hoard our pain and call it home

They never taught us how to look inside

Only how to run and how to dry our eyes

We dig ourselves in too deep

How many of us die and pretend to live

We stop the life from leaking in

When we turn away from what lies within

We are splintered and we are rotten

Deep within the walls that we’ve forgotten

All the answers to all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

We are splintered and we are rotten

Deep under the floorboards we’ve forgotten

But all the answers to all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them
