They pull up their chairs to the table

She stares at the food on her plate

At the toast and the butter

Her father, her mother, she pushes away

And they rise in the morning

And they sleep in the dark

And even though nobody's looking

She's falling apart

She gets home from school too early

And closes the door to her room

There's nothing inside her

She's weak and she's tired of feeling like this

And they rise in the morning

And they sleep in the dark

And even though nobody's looking

She's falling apart

They call her for dinner, she makes up a reason

She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves

And her mother is starting to see through her lies

And last night her father had tears in his eyes

And they rise in the morning

And they sleep in the dark

And even though nobody's looking

She's falling apart

And we rise in the morning

And we sleep in the dark

And even though nobody's looking

She's falling apart
