two arrows Video (MV)

I don't know how to
Not tense against this
Too scared of pain
Go too good at building fences
I get a splinter and
The rage is relentless
How did I let myself get so close to the edge
My old wisdom flew two arrows
Followed pain with blame
"Don't play with fire
It's your fault if you're burning
It's your fault if you're hurting."
Race car drivers learn to go limp
When they're about to crash
After all you're bound to
Moving that fast
How strange that going soft
Can protect your head
Oh I've been concussed just
Laying tense in bed
Half my hurt is self-inflicted
I worry so I suffer twice
Wounded my own soul with conviction
Shielded from the others' eyes
And now the second arrow follows
It lands with messages hidden
Trapped inside the clearest bottles
Tools to hallow me within
But what if pain had no story
What if pain had no meaning
What if it were just a part of being
No blame
Just healing
