Brace from The Caretaker by Half Waif

Trying to climb out,
Your body is a shield
Armored against me.
Find out what you really mean.

I see you walking in your town
With your head down.
You always wore that place
Like a brace.
Does it stop you
From breaking?

Annie, why are you still beating yourself up?
It happens all the time.
Annie, why have you gone closing all your doors
Before I close mine?

You left a light on.
I saw a moth was dead
That summer morning.
Find out where you really went.

I see you in the kitchen
Making breakfast,
Not saying a word as you stir.
I come up beside you,
Put a hand upon the burn.

Annie, why are you still beating yourself up?
It happens all the time.
Annie, why have you gone closing all your doors?
I haven’t closed mine.
Annie, I’m awake on the other side of the wall
But I cannot hear your mind.
