my eyes have seen
more than i know
i do not understand
i wander round
in circles
searching
hiding
from your hand
my ears have heard
more than i need
i cannot take it in
it's spilling
dripping out of me
i'm slipping
into sin
my nose is twitching
itching
burning dots
of bloody scars
i cannot breathe
i cannot sing
i cannot feel the stars
my fingers fly
across the keys
as numb as numb can be
all trapped inside
a screen of pride
pretending to feel free
my tongue is forked
and slow and clumsy
bitter to the taste
this world i created
from a lie
and senseless waste
