Every phrase that never saw the light of day

♫ TUNE ♫

 

"Thoughts"

 

I found a thought in my brain

Something I haven't seen in here for days

I asked before it escaped

"What brought you here to this desolate place?"

Using blood for ink, I watch my stories fade

Writing poetry with thoughts that I erased

Every phrase that never saw the light of day

Will become the only words I ever say

 

And I hope that somehow

My soul will calm down

As I learn to pronounce

The language I betrayed

As I sweat from my brow

And decipher these vowels

May I comprehend doubt

With thoughts that never stayed

 

I felt my conscience awake

It seemed to scare all my ideas away

I asked if it would behave

I wish I knew how to make it obey

Using ink for blood, I write until I'm drained

Leaving memories I hate upon the page

I don't think I'll ever see the light of day

If I leave a piece of me to pave the way

 

And I hope that somehow

My soul will calm down

As I learn to pronounce

The language I betrayed

As I sweat from my brow

And decipher these vowels

May I comprehend doubt

With thoughts that never stayed

 

And though they'd never stay

I will find a place

To sit and contemplate

Until I awaken all that I am, now

 

And I hope that somehow

My soul will calm down

As I learn to pronounce

The language I betrayed

As I sweat from my brow

And decipher these vowels

May I comprehend doubt

With thoughts that never stayed

 

I found a thought in my brain

Something I haven't seen in here for days

I watched it walk through my veins

Out through my fingertips, into the page
