Thoughts

[Verse 1]
I found a thought in my brain
Something I haven't seen in here for days
I asked before it escaped
What brought you here to this desolate place?

[Pre-Chorus]
Using blood for ink, I watch my stories fade
Writing poetry with thoughts that I erased
Every phrase that never saw the light of day
Will become the only words I ever say

[Chorus]
And I hope that somehow
My soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce
The language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow
And decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed

[Verse 2]
I felt my conscience awake
It seemed to scare all my ideas away
I asked if it would behave
I wish I knew how to make it obey

[Pre-Chorus]
Using ink for blood, I write until I'm drained
Leaving memories I hate upon the page
I don't think I'll ever see the light of day
If I leave a piece of me to pave the way

[Chorus]
And I hope that somehow
My soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce
The language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow
And decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed

[Bridge]
And though they never stay
I will find a place
To sit and contemplate
Until I awaken all that I am, now

[Chorus]
And I hope that somehow my soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce the language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed

[Outro]
I found a thought in my brain
Something I haven't seen in here for days
I watched it walk through my veins
Out through my fingertips into the page
