Mitosis

[00:06.53] The first time I came home from school
[00:09.99] I walked right through the door
[00:12.65] Wrapped my arms around my mother
[00:15.95] Dropped my bags on the floor
[00:19.97] That night I heard the train
[00:22.52] All the way in Richmond
[00:26.61] And God, just being home
[00:29.31] Felt like breathing again
[00:35.04] I'm splitting in half
[00:38.06] A mitosis of sorts
[00:41.72] Once I shed this skin
[00:45.02] I won't hurt anymore
[00:49.03] I never let myself in
[00:52.31] On the truth before
[00:56.47] There's two of me at last
[01:02.32] One to move on
[01:03.83] One to stay in the past
[01:12.33] Well, I moved back down to Boston
[01:14.98] And met the people that I love
[01:18.15] They taught me how to drop my guard down
[01:21.59] And showed me that I am enough
[01:25.64] I see them as the sisters
[01:28.79] That I never had
[01:31.67] It's the sweetest feeling ever
[01:34.78] Knowing someone has your back
[01:40.38] I'm splitting in half
[01:43.30] A mitosis of sorts
[01:46.83] Once I shed this skin
[01:50.07] I won't hurt anymore
[01:53.96] I never let myself in
[01:57.26] On the truth before
[02:01.21] There's two of me at last
[02:07.24] One to move on
[02:08.72] One to stay in the past
[02:23.87] Now I love brick and iron and copper
[02:27.51] These building speak to me my truth
[02:31.05] They tell me that I'm smart
[02:33.69] And there's a spot
[02:35.63] For me in every room
[02:39.39] And here I am still growing
[02:41.96] But like the person I can see
[02:45.86] And that's all I ever wanted
[02:49.51] For me
[02:53.28] I'm splitting in half
[02:56.37] A mitosis of sorts
[02:59.99] Once I shed this skin
[03:03.01] I won't hurt anymore
[03:06.80] I never let myself in
[03:10.22] On the truth before
[03:14.39] There's two of me at last
[03:20.26] One to move on
[03:21.72] One to stay in the past
[03:23.63]
