Crux (Bruised, Not Broken)

The very rough draft of a new song. Lyrics following. (Performed with just the left hand; right hand was legit broken!)

Music & Lyrics (c) Emily C. A. Snyder 2008

Crux

These hands are always open
These eyes are seldom closed
This smile's a little broken
This soul's a little older now

Nails in my hands
I've been put in my place a
Million times and I
Find I'm tired
Of fighting to
Stand still

Free me,
Move me,
Dare me,
Love me -

Though I am bruised and broken
I'm in shatters, and I'm in shards
In this fractured glass I see
A million faces of me
And none of them the me that I've
Become -

While all these patterns in my mind
Are now fugueing into one
Of a thousand things I'll never do
And a million things I've never done

And though I know it was a
Prison that you've recently
Released me from --
I find it hard to move

Bind me,
Hold me,
Claim me,
Own me -

For I am bruised and broken
I've been shattered,
And I'm in shards
You touch me and suddenly
I'm bleeding
And I know because I'm
Damaged
I'm not yours

Yours were the hands that
Held me close when I
Struggled to flee and

Yours were the eyes
That first saw something
Lovely in me

Heal me,
Oh touch me
Won't you, please
See me...

That I was bruised, not broken
That I'm in shatters, but not in shards
And this jagged heart
Keeps beating
If you can stand a little damage
Then I'm yours

Yes, I am bruised, not broken
Though in shatters, I'm not in shards
And this jagged heart
Keeps beating
If you can stand a little damage
Then I'm yours
