Visuals Imprinted Within Me
I have visuals imprinted
of laughs you believed
when behind my eyes
there was a sea you couldn’t see.
My bones feel weak
it has bare the hammering
when you declared a war with your words
there was a scream you couldn’t hear.
Its getting so heavy
oh i see a shed i’ll wait there
it was a shadow hovering over me
oh it felt so same to secure
i thought that its a roof.
It aches to see or feel the pain
inside me its just waves
but as i feel the waves crash
something strikes.
i’ll dance out through the shadows
when i will again mistake it as my roof
oh i stayed there for a while
and ill laugh at that too.
I’ll smile when I’ll remember
how you hammered my bones
but still i chose to bare it and survive
and i’ll be proud of that too.
I’ll smile as long as
you will again miss
to see the sea behind my eyes
of when there has always
been a glimpse of hope alive.
and as i watch the waves crash
inside me there will always be a scar
and when something cuts it deeper
i’ll let it hurt to save myself from feeling empty and numb
for deep as i can feel
i still have some laughs left
-inside me.
Behind those eyes is a sea
you couldn’t see.
now don’t try to swim
you’ll drown its deep.
When you reach its deepest depths
its broken beneath and you will know
its dark now don’t bother
don’t try to swim
you will drown its deep.
don’t try to look
when you couldn’t feel.
