festering apprehensions
dark
dark
no, no more!
not another methaphor
growth or decay?
what's the price you had to pay?
everytime i close my eyes,
it's where i hide my dreams.
it's the reason i ask the whys?
why fresh water to salted streams?
why it's lost to these falling tears ?
why beat to beatless beat my blood now sears?
everytime i close my eyes
everytime.
everytime i close my eyes
it's what my mirror doesn't recognize
softly, softly grab hold of my hand
lost, misplaced, confussed.
I understand
how the heart is abused
the sight of empty faces
how caring has become a task
the feel of numbing embraces
can i wake to just ask?
is this all that's left for us?
as the hot summer's endin
i lost track of how it got to be so ridiculous
and as the cold air is closing in
i watch the skies go back to grey
and the crooked trees grow dry
here behind my eyelids is where i'll stay
where melodies flow and lies go to die.
