http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worry_doll

I line the trinkets on the table in a row
Could this thread and wire save me?
Whisper fears, tuck them underneath your pillow
Will you be gone, will they be gone by the morning?

Do you only take one worry?
Or can I fill you up with dread?
Would it be selfish of me
To be relieved of the monsters in my head
While you wear my scars, cry my tears
Crush your tiny, woven heart?
But what takes it all away from you?
Do you fray and fall apart?

I'm carrying too much, I feel a shaking in my knees
I'd kill to trade these thoughts for just a little sleep
But somehow, they still find a way to seep into my dreams
When it's finally all too much
I'll hold you in my hands and scream

I'm scared I will sink into this sand
I'm scared I will never hold his hand
And I'm terrified at twenty-two
My world's forever tinted blue
Will the sparks and sounds inside my head
Be lost to math and medicine?
How could I fall so far behind?
Are these memories worth the wasted time?
These ropes are frayed beyond repair
How will I break the news that I don't care?
Will I ever have a say?
Will it ever be okay?

For now I'll hold you in my pocket
Keep you safe while I still can
But I know someday, I'll give in
And I hope you'll understand

When you wear my scars, cry my tears
Crush your tiny, woven heart
What takes it all away from you?
Do you fray and fall apart?
What takes it all away from you?
Do you fray and fall apart?
