Inward my heart, I escape
Hiding out from the scars
I build up my fortress
Of this lonely solitude that I itch for
And as I bleed, I seep
Into open voids
Of nothing but emptiness
Finding everything wrong
With my tainted universe
Of failed connections
And paranoia of betrayal
You were just another casualty
Of my failures
Of my flaws
Only I just wanted to be so raw,
To be real
When everything else was false
Couldn't you just stay awhile
And let me live in this dream
Where everything is alive
Where everything is alright

Lost in the depths of your eyes
I search for your soul
Wanting to be within your mind
And understand the ways you flow
You have me memorized
And I long to have more
I crave to be among your lips
And see the way you taste
I need your touch onto my canvas
Making your impression
Because when you look at me
You have me disoriented in hope

I see the light in your eyes
And I beg to shine beside you,
I've been waiting too long
And you're within my reach,
Take me outside my body I plead
And show me what you see
A place filled with bliss
A place with no fear,
No darkness
Only fluorescence filled
With every part of you

Emotions take me physical
Making me their slave
They trick me
Into a false reality
Consuming my sanity
They seize my control
I am held captive
With an illusion that is seeping through
And with a slight glance
I see them inside,
I am a puppet
Lifeless with eyes,
Eyes that gaze over
Them pulling strings
Once thought mine
Now torn to shreds
I start to fail,
And as I quiver
I stay quiet
This control over me
Has me still
But staring,
I plead silently
Just let me run away
Into thoughts once alive
But in reality
I am perishing
In lifeless thoughts
Filled with poison
That I am not awake
Only just a waste
