Rearranging The Dust

At the centre of it all its just atoms and reactions
Electrical impulses and attractions that pull ourselves together and keep everything ticking over
And all that we know is what we picked up a along the way through every triumph and every heartbreak
Through every moment of clarity, for every time we let fear stand between who we are and who we wish that we could be
You made me promise that I would let you know if I found myself struggling to cope
How can I lay that on you when you’re struggling yourself?
It’s times like this that nothing seems to change
You are her eyes and legs now so she can keep her strength. I used to hold on to belief that things would work out in the end
All that we asked for was to stand on our two feet and stop relying on this family
As myelin unfolds and days get much more difficult, hold on
There’s no shame in hoping for a miracle, because this recovery would take more than just chemicals and time
Despite your shaking hands you worked so hard for us, and I’ll remember
