grace says

this is inevitable/ lies fall like rain/ justify excuses to cover your pain/ your steps incongruent with the glint in your eyes/ you're not fooling anyone/ but go on keep trying/ i'm down and i'm drowning/ you don't seem to mind/ this distance keeps growing/ hands falter, hope dies :: watch for the outcome/ choke on the tears/ shrug off the anger/ grace says "stay near"

i am tired of being loved for pacificity's sake. i am tired of being loved for who you think i am.

but, i am not afraid. it will turn out ok in the end.
