Burning Eyes

With broken wings
And broken arms
I'll carry you
To a different place

Spilling ink on paper
My heart will race for you
Try to keep in pace
Keep in pace

My head's spinning
My head's spinning
Colors
Blind
The eyes
Whisper words in my ear
I can't hear you
I can't hear you screaming

Spilling all the ink I have
My heart races for you
Try to keep in pace
Keep in pace

I know
You see
Through this wall of lies
I've built
From the ground up
Protect myself
I see your eyes
Staring
Staring at mine
I see your eyes
Burning holes in mine
I see your eyes
Burning holes in mine

Broken
Ink-stained wings
Are all I have

"Broken

I was moved by the poem, but this really caught me.

Key/Legend

word = speaking/singing
(word) = whispering/echo
