Behind Our Backs

There was a time
When I was broken, I was silent
But those days have come and gone
And a new life has just begun
I’m not alone
Salvation though the growth of a backbone
And all this hope is so beautiful
I can feel it in the pit of my stomach
It twists and turns and ties a knot
In my gut that just won’t come undone
As fast as you left me trembling
All I hear is an exhale
A shaking whisper spreading quickly to your hands
Just hold on tight
All I’ve got is a picture
A reminder of everyday
That it just might be too late
You find the truth in the company you call friends
Are they really?
Search deep inside
Tell them all the lies that you hide within you
The real you
They’ll break you down
