Lyrics I've sang before,
I know this broken melody,
I recognize this pain,
my hope has been injured again.

When I see a pen my eye twitches,
aware of the millions of words that I've trapped in,
aware of the breaths I never really exhaled.
My throat closes up at the thought of being heard,
my opinions are stuck in the sentence "I wish I could I've said,"
When I see a pen I see a chance,
a chance to turn ink into my voice.

Break my bones,
make me bleed,
let this love-filled blood gush out of my veins,
I want no part of it!
Love is too much for me,
It sets my insides ablaze,
until my thoughts dance in the flames,
burning everything until my heart begs.
So I'll hide from its rays,
I'll lurk in the shadows,
before logic is dragged and thrown out the window,
before am left with nothing but the need for more.
