This song is a collection of pieces I wrote over the years sewn into one song. This song was inspired by my cousin Lydia. I miss her everyday.

A week since your last smile

Started wearing a lonely style

An infection in your brain

Despair you can't contain

In your head and he won't leave

Covering up with long sleeves

You keep asking if this is real

This is how reality feels

Scars cover your wrists

You flinch at a clenched fist

Your eyes glisten the word why

I won't let you say goodbye

Let your guard down

Come into my arms

For a while now life's

Been falling apart

Once lost

forever it is gone

You are loved

forever and beyond

Wear a hoodie day after day

You hesitate everything you say

Living in a constant state of fear

Headphone walls around you ears

Walking in constant protection

Empty of self affection

Life is like an empty street

Release the shackles on your feet

(repeat chorus)

It doesn't have to be this way

Let it go and your life will change
