lyrics
Open my book and write on my pages
I'll just absorb your graffiti in stages
First every stroke of your pen made with ink
Then every word that you wrote me to think
I'll swallow them whole as they sink to my binding
I'm harder to rewrite, you are finding
You are finding
Let anyone in, there's no lock on my door
Walk straight through my gate, come and traipse on my floor
The windows are open to day and to night
Welcoming strangeness, both darkness and light
But watch what you leave in the shadows and nooks
The thing that you brought will outlive what you took
What you took
Don't tell her to toughen up
Don't tell her, "tough it out" again
Break down the armor
All things can harm her
But all within
Go on through her thin skin
Your bullets and needles can pass right on through
Let blood flow outside and my bones come unglued
My muscles and skin will stretch over the wounds
Though what they hide from your view is in ruins
The pain that I feel is but nothing to me
Than what it can do after you set it free
Set it free
Don't tell her to toughen up
Don't tell her, "tough it out" again
Break down the armor
All things can harm her
But all within
Go on through her thin skin
Though my body's full of holes
There's no direction to the flows
What was inside comes out again
What is left, I'll take it in
Walls may be easier to make
But walls like that are hard to break
So I will choose the lesser sin
Keep my wall up, paper-thin
Break down the armor
All things can harm her
But all within
Go on, go on through her thin skin
Break down the armor
All things can harm her
But all within
Go on through her thin skin
