Writer's Pledge
Staring out into the rain
Lightning shatters the black like veins
Bloody eyes longing to get out
though it's warm and dry inside
Screaming till my lungs may tear
still you're not aware
These walls built by my words
it keeps the world locked out
CHORUS:
Can't you just see through my eyes?
The meaning dies between the lines
Every letter, every word
Not just read
Gotta be tasted, felt and heard
Aren't you listening?
Words
Nails scratching wood
Words
Salty tears on my lips
Not merely written
This is livin', listen
Feeling pain as I cut
deep enough, but there's no blood
Inside the meaning is becoming louder
out there no one is getting it
Thinking that you understand
only staring at the surface
What you really need to know
is lurking underneath
CHORUS
Words
Nails scratching wood
Words
Salty tears on my lips
Not merely written
This is livin', listen
The wind is ripping this room apart
Papers twirling through my heart
Bloody hand sliding down the windowpane
Pleading for you to look inside
Clear your mind
break down the door
Pour out your heart
whilst still lying on the floor
I can lie, I can move on
But sticking around for you to hear this song
CHORUS
Hear me
Hear me
Think of what I'm saying
and let the light pierce the thunderclouds
