Undone
Undone
By Kevin Robey

Light
It shouts
Poisons me and fills me with self-doubt
Take
Them back
Oil fields that tarred my feathers black
Night
It comes
Filters me and leaves my thoughts undone
Peace
It breaks
Erases me and leaves me wide awake
[chorus]
Can you give me a reason?
Just give me a chance to say
What gets me through the day
Forget the past, forget the past
Dreams
They stay
Where I die again and float away
Sun
It bursts
Reaching through my curtains like a curse
Hope
Will dawn
Polaroids of places dreams are drawn
Faith
Will blind
‘Till night returns again to claim my mind
[chorus]
Can you give me a reason?
Just give me a chance to write
What gets me through the night
Forget the past, forget the past...
[Io Echo: "Stalemate", "Forget Me Not"]
