Between These Lines

Three words float in the cold under breath
Making friends with the silence
Carry voices in my head never heard but
Only swallowed, and then
Cut and drained
Knotted from the inside out, and
Wrought in pain
Of the stories who once lost their place in time

Now I'm pulling you closer in search of the truth in your eyes
Well maybe I'm trying to tell you to look for
That in mine
Cuz my chest is sore
From beating to a heart that cannot
Ask for more
Fearing I will lose just what I'm
Looking for
Words come up like acid going down my throat
Is just a void for truth to decom
Just a void for truth to decompose

Can you hear me?
Read my mind
My tongue is tied
Look for my signs
Oh can you hear me
Read my mind
Clear me out
Lend a hand
Pull me up from between
Clear me out
Lend a hand
Pull me up from between
These lines
