Fractals

[Verse 1]
There’s so much fragile rage inside. I wonder if that’s wrong.
I’m sorry I could not escape my demons unscathed.
Or maybe I’m the one who’s been the demon all along.
I wonder if that’s okay.

[Refrain]
I swore that I’d let go. Don’t turn back.
Run til the door slams.
But when the clouds all clear and I look down
I find I still give a damn.
Their eyes are on me, and they don’t want me.
It’s a different game,
But the same old pain.
The fractals thaw, and I’m standing in the rain.

[Verse 2]
I thought that distance would consume this empty ache inside.
Thought the darkness would diminish in the light of day.
But I find that small things grow again when given time.
I wonder if that’s ok.

[Refrain]

[Bridge]
And as the chords of my triumphant chorus start to fade,
I hear the echoes of the person I was yesterday.
Could it be that I am only what they see?
Or is there a place where I can belong and be free?

[Refrain]
I swore that I’d let go. Don’t turn back.
Run til the door slams.
But when the clouds all clear and I look down
I find I know who I am.
Every tomorrow brings new sorrows
I will have to face,
And that’s ok.
Though fractals thaw, we all need a little rain.
