My Dead Language

From the Outside Looking In

From the outside looking in

You see the truth in me

Even when I don’t believe

You see, you see

If feeling is believing

Then I believe you

There are few to love

And even less to blame

How so

Just so

Despite everything

Just follow what you already know

There is not so much as little

So I wear this heart readily

In plain view, you see

How many more days will expire

Without this lonely hearts desire

Why do I keep

These memories that sleep

Wounded

Haunted

I cry deep, I know shame

These memoires you see

Good memories

But haunted just the same
