left confused
feelings refused
what should i do
my soul's torn in two

what's wong with my head
pouring water into jars
what's wrong with what you said?
well, it's left scars

i'm long gone from the time when tears fell
i've left from my dreams, i've broken the shell
yet standing here realizing it all
i've found the bruises from my fall

when the shutters snapped shut
and then reopened
it left a cut
and yet it was chosen

maybe i knew it all along
maybe i just didn't want to see
maybe it was in the lines between that song
what's been is gone but i'll change what is to be

life is an essay without an eraser
the cancellation marks won't fully recover
they can't hide the fact
that there's been an error
they can't hide the tracks
of the hidden terror
