If I walk away it’s not weakness - it’s knowing the cost of the pieces - you don’t deserve my strength - I broke myself to keep it.

Silence is loud when you mean it -

There’s no hard feelings, just hard decisions

I kept it real, you kept it convenient

Now when I’m quiet, that’s not forgiveness

That’s me just learning’ the difference

There’s lightning in this bottle, i don’t want to let it go. But somedays you never know. In a flash it knocks you off the pedestal. But I’m trying to hold it in

I built my walls from broken glass to keep the floors beneath

I keep the storms in mason jars - and clean the blood with bleach

I traded whispers for the screams, and scream for silence sake

I give my rage to empty streets, and leave the ghosts awake

I cage the storm without a sound, but there’s sound when the cage still shakes

The jar won’t hold if all it takes… is one strike and it breaks

There’s lightning in this bottle, i don’t want to let it go. But somedays you never know. In a flash it knocks you off the pedestal. But I’m trying to hold it in

The lightning waits behind the glass -

but I don’t move
