NEW

I've gotta breathe again
Let in those healing hands
I gotta be touched
by something other
than a faded memory
deep in the grasp of
this brain
I wanna release the pain
I want to be able to blame
Someone else other than me

I wanna cry again
Not because of past pure bliss
Or that faded distant kiss
I wanna take your hand and live each
moment of the forgotten sand
I buried myself in
one time long before
these words were planted

I can't resort to fame
Or play this wretched game
Of love and why its not
for me
To see that I have never loved
Or once thought I did
Among the tired lids
That hang low
over my eyes.

I now can see what it was
why i hold on to things
that i can never keep
why the very moment i think
it seeps into my skin
the sin of why we are
why we must travel afar to learn
to trust in its evitable task to burn
its way inside
let it be
no tests its power to see
who you are
cause you've gone to far
to turn back
