Lyrics The Ken Burns Effect - Patient Sixty-Seven

The Ken Burns Effect

Gathering my thoughts
They can’t stay contained
How am I expected to be everything when
It feels like I’m living in my own nightmare, and
I’ve always been so sure of a new start
That we’d find through the good in our hearts
Picking up the pieces shouldn’t be this hard
These cuts might heal
But they will leave scars
Gather the strength to break the mold
Breaking down the walls that held your soul
Things have never seemed so bleak before
It made it all so hard to bare
(All the reason to care, I always will)
After everything you’ve faced
For your own sake
You have so much left to give
You were never meant to fade away
The mind can will itself over the soul
Can’t it
We’ve been stuck in this space alone
No one made me aware to the fact
That one person could break the world you once had intact
Gather the strength
To break the mold
Breaking down the walls
That once held your soul
I know now that you’re becoming whole
Because you’re facing the demons
That once had their hold on you
They once had a hold on you
But you shouldn’t have to pick these pieces
On your own
Pick up these pieces on your own
Things have never seemed so bleak before
It made it all so hard to bare
(All the reason to care, I always will)
After everything you’ve faced
For your own sake
You have so much left to give
You were never meant to fade away
For so long
There were doubts
About the good in your heart
You needed to see
You mean too much to me
