Words

The words I seek

Just escape me

But the meaning is so clear

I try to find the right words

But those words

They disappear

 

So I speak to you in riddles

Because my words get in my way

I can grasp them for a moment

But they

Always fade away

 

I scream because

I cant trust myself

And I don't know how to speak

My breath is gone

My voice ripped out

And left bleeding at my feet

 

And the thoughts

They rise like water

They crest and come crashing down

So lets just sit here

Silently so

I dont have to drown

Hell no

 

I am nothing more than

Imprisoned in my mind

A voice I once thought reliable

Now determined to stay inside

 

So sit there frozen

Carved in stone

While we drift farther away

This shattered home

Is just a shallow hole

Words left ruin in their wake

 

Ruin in

Ruin in

Ruin in their wake

Notes

I wrote this a long time ago but never put it out before. It is a song with full music written even though there is no chorus.
