Laura Dee Poet Lyric

Undone

Undone
By Kevin Robey
February 24, 2014

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"]
