Untitled

Spent my whole life searching for you

But still my hands are bare

And still, I’m in need of repair

I get the feeling I’d give my life for just a truth

The vines begin to grow

Pulling me down

Into the deep, dark, underground

I don’t want you to help me, I’d rather not let you know

The ways in which I tried

All the years I fled

The tears I never cried

And the blood I never bled

That every word was pried

Right from my hands, before it was ever said.

 

And every word was pride.

A dream that was only meant to be dreamt.
