Am I an illusion
Am I just a dream
Inside, ((I am nothing))
Like what I may seem

Inside I am nervous
Inside I am shy
Inside I can't breathe
I can't laugh, I just cry

Deep down in my chest
Lies a broken old heart
As silent as death
Since at death did we part

I'm numb and I'm broken
I'm lost and confused
I'm often mispoken
I'm easily bruised

I'm not worth a thing
To the ones that I love
I feel warmth from below
And a [vacant] above

Blind

A raindrop plummets
To the ground
My ears too weak
To hear the sound
But if they could
What would they hear?
And would I notice,
Would I care?

Would orchestrated
Music flow
A song, a tune
That we don't know
And no-one's ever
Heard before
Just as one raindrop
Hits the floor?

What if my sight
Were sharper too?
What could be seen?
Would things look new?
Would they look fresh?
Would they look bright?
If only I had
Better sight?

No shadows to
Distract the eye
A world of light!
But I would sigh
Our mysteries hide
In the dark,
If all lit up
By one bright spark

The world would see
The faults and lies
They'd see the pain
They's hear the cries
The bliss of ignorance
Is true
It hides the black
And hides the blue

I'm sticking with
The sense I've got
Nothing too cold
Nothing too hot
Nothing too dark
Nothing too bright
My ignorance
And lack of sight

Birth

Your razorblade mother
Who brought you to life
She bore all her children
When I was in strife

You litter my wrists
Like debris from a storm
And I see you red rubies
You're bitter and warm

And you run down my arm
Like a stream does downhill
Until off of my elbow
You fall then you're still

What a terrible shame
I must wipe you away
Before everyone see's
It's a price I must pay

But I know you'll revisit
And it won't be long
Because then once again
I will hear your sweet song

"Yes we love you fair lady
We'll always be here
We will hold you and calm you
You'll never have fear
For forever we're here
So don't cry now my dear
Wipe away that old tear
For forever we're here
For forever we're here
For forever we're here"
