| Chaotic Wind Envelopes my mind It's on the tip of my tongue Fleeting solution that doesn't come The path ahead that lies just in sight I can't reach it to tread it, try as I might Surrounded by caring, all around outside But not a one that cares enough, enough to pierce my hyde Cut a path, hollow out, a hole A wonderful, beautiful, opening to the depths of my soul It's there that I'm stuck, trying to break free That shell I could crack, if she but bothered to see I can't find my way, in this prison, in this heart Stumbling around inside my soul, not even sure where to start Looking for answers I know, that aren't there I look in all places but don't find them anywhere Walking around in the shadows, in my mind Staring at everything while pretending I'm blind Just want to go where everyone else gets to go, the light People struck dumb, staring in rapture, so bright Some walk around, surrounded by brilliance, oblivious How can they not see their fortune, to me it's so obvious Can't see the forest for the trees they say Don't even miss it 'til they throw it away But for those undeserving, it always comes back And they'll keep returning until one day they crack Covered all over with scars that won't heal Big gaping hole in their heart that won't seal Beaten and burdened, by what's left behind As a chaotic wind, slowly envelopes their mind |
