Recovery Day

Been all the way up to Mars
 Thought I could bring back the stars
 Swam to the bed of the sea
 Where no light would shine on me
 Built up and taken apart
 Removed my brain and my heart
 Stripped myself down to the frame
 Starting to rebuild again
 Gave away all that I had
 They all thought I was mad
 Articulated in time
 You hear this story of mine
 Saying I'm perfectly fine
 You've heard that covering line
 Made myself weak in your eyes
 Vulnerable like a child
 Sit at the table alone
 Reliving things that we'd done
 I was still hoping to find
 There in the space of my mind
 And on recovery day
 Go a new way
 And when I came to this place
 There was no sign and no trace
 And on recovery day
 Go a new way
