[Verse 1] I keep a tray of glass in my chest one wrong step and the whole thing cracks I smile with a paper mouth while the basement floods my shoes A lamp in the corner knows too much it leans when I walk by every secret wears a different coat every coat has my name inside [Pre-Chorus] If you could see the knots in me you’d find the thread and not let go I’m split clean down the middle line still asking love to touch both sides [Chorus] Hold all of me hold all of me the safe and the ruin the bruise and the bloom Hold all of me hold all of me I’m half a storm and half coming home [Verse 2] I juggle matchbooks in a raincoat pocket send sparks through the fabric seams my alibis are hummingbirds with mirrors tied to their knees I built a little stage of bones where my fears wear better clothes then I bowed to the empty room like it might say, stay [Pre-Chorus] If you could see the static lace around my thoughts when you get near I’m a locked door with a window bent I want your hand to pass right through [Chorus] Hold all of me hold all of me the safe and the ruin the bruise and the bloom Hold all of me hold all of me I’m half a storm and half coming home [Bridge] I am the altar I am the ash I am the coin with two bright faces If you stay close don’t flinch at the shape I come in fragments and that’s the point [Final Chorus] Hold all of me hold all of me the safe and the ruin the bruise and the bloom Hold all of me hold all of me I’m half a storm and half coming home Hold all of me hold all of me I’m a cracked bowl still carrying light
