three mirrors deep to reflect upon:
never could quite get it right
with the world changing faster than my moods
its hard to keep up when you hold your hand so high
like a slap across the face your fingers said hush
but your body left impressions upon my skin
oh i wish i knew what it was
how i wish i could get underneath your skin
i think if you would let me you may find more than you think
but its simply much to ask these days
i'll just cover my mouth with my hands
and softly hum what i truly feel
and let it sink between my teeth
tightly wound fingertips stretch out
to touch your lips so tense
i wish it didnt hurt to dream like this.
oh how the blind seek
the deaf to bring light in their dark sight
a contradiction brings two together
but digs a hole the size of the world
its clearly much too simple to feel
and easy to ignore
a paralysis that cant be undone
as you fall between cracks and wrinkles
of all my face has worn
my scars have a story
i just wish you listened when they were told.
i think its safe to hum that i love you
but i highly doubt the time will ever come
when its okay for me to say that four letter word
so for now i'll be your yellow bird that always gently sung
"you're far more than most will ever come...to stealing me away from everything i've ever undone"
there is no solid ground
there is no stability
for me its only butterflies and goosebumps
no equilibrium to hold my hand day in and day out
you've taken it all away
and darling thats more than okay by me
i've got enough to give and a needle and thread
"just come get lost with me" he said...
i swear upon my only life
im all you will ever need to find.
