Story Behind The Song
The song tries to present the grief of emotional abuse through the metaphor of physical abuses. Using bruises and scarring to represent feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing often left in the wake of a verbally and emotionally abusive parent or partner.
However, in time, those things can sometimes be overcome - as is what happens in this story.

Lyrics
just keep it together for now and forever.
storms i can weather by just getting by.
if it lives then it bleeds. if it feels then it feeds
off the hurt that it needs. and it all comes down
as the skies open into my horizons
as blue gives away to grey.
promises broken, like words that were spoken,
it's all been a joke and all of the lies lies lies
we repeated. get down be defeated
the work is complete. as they all fall down
i'll arrive forward into my horizons
covered in blue and grey.
forward into my horizons
covered in blue and grey.
just keep dragging me right down to my knees.
you'll heal me with only a touch? come on.
and i can't believe you think you can save me.
it's just a little much. come on.
