Half to Life

I opened up to the next blank page Five years separated from the one before To try to figure out the empty space The hours passed and the ink ran red Blood spilling from the page onto the floor Cause as it turns out nothing's changed Cause I'm not free of it I was shattered on the concrete Stuck behind a smokescreen, choking I waited for the all clear, hoping it was safe to Breathe again And in the years that followed it felt like I had died And only come back half to life, half to life I still can't see the end I'm afraid and I don't know if I can take much more I need this to be okay So lets build it up again Run it back, run it back just this once more But nothing ever changes, nothing's changed Cause I'm not free of it I was shattered on the concrete Stuck behind a smokescreen, choking I waited for the all clear, hoping it was safe to Breathe again And in the years that followed it felt like I had died And only come back half to life, half to life I went deep in the blue But all I got was salt in the wound I floated flat on my back And tried to wait for the break in the storm As wave after wave after wave after wave Pulled me deeper and deeper down Cause I'm not free of it I was shattered on the concrete Stuck behind a smokescreen, choking I waited for the all clear, hoping it was safe to Breathe again And in the years that followed it felt like I had died And only come back half to life Felt like I had died And only come back half to life, half to life
