I poured my heart out for you on these pages Does that prove I am better than the rest? If I spelled each serious word carefully placed with purpose Would you care I plucked them straight from my chest? Dangling from pride by flimsy feeble strings Pathetic pieces float uncertain and shaking Hastily tied them to my heart as they arose Now those timid concerns and domesticated woes are mine for the taking I keep them close to use only when needed To project palaces or prisons for my protected thoughts One by one I pull emotions from inner walls And other tucked away hiding spots They burrow further as suffering increases Yet no matter how deep they dig I still hear their mournful muffled hum In my eardrums starting small then growing big That is the twisted key to my success Smiling as I spill secret sorrow Taking others to a place seldom seen Boundless heights that will move tomorrow Unburdened yet incomplete without these emotions Only seem to flourish in fear or agony I summon these wild feelings from my soul To show exactly what you mean to me

If I Emptied My Heart On Paper..
I poured my heart out for you on these pages Does that prove I am better than the rest? If I spelled each serious word carefully placed with purpose Would you care I plucked them straight from my chest? Dangling from pride by flimsy feeble strings Pathetic pieces float uncertain and shaking Hastily tied them to my heart as they arose Now those timid concerns and domesticated woes are mine for the taking I keep them close to use only when needed To project palaces or prisons for my protected thoughts One by one I pull emotions from inner walls And other tucked away hiding spots They burrow further as suffering increases Yet no matter how deep they dig I still hear their mournful muffled hum In my eardrums starting small then growing big That is the twisted key to my success Smiling as I spill secret sorrow Taking others to a place seldom seen Boundless heights that will move tomorrow Unburdened yet incomplete without these emotions Only seem to flourish in fear or agony I summon these wild feelings from my soul To show exactly what you mean to me
I can never express the extent of my love for you
