Visible

I want to feel my hand
On something stark and soft
I want to cure my pain
Break my back in half

Sullen, soldiering on
Soldier, shrugging at dawn
Rain covers the sun
I sleep until it's over

The arch pulled me up
I bent, then I broke
I got back up in California
I'm invisible, then I'm seen

Bought the new car
Easy as nothing
It won't kill me
Keeps me stronger

I want to run outside
Don't want to say a word
I say too much as it is
I leave, I look away, I love
