Bound
These walls stand covered in a sapphire veneer
But I’ve been built up on clouds that vaporize with time
Grasped firmly these lifeless knuckles grew white
Mind racing swiftly like a bullet flying through your night sky
Scars trace the nightmares of tiptoeing lies
Hopes grasp tightly to handle bars of rusted memories
Lullabies humming their reassuring words
Sing to me lightly and slow the coiling in my mind
Put and end to these racing stoplights
The whispers that danced slowly now cease to exist
But the distant tapping of a heart beats inside my chest
While time freezes with elegant strides
Water based emotions stretch across the oceans of my eyes
And the waves crash upon silent and fearful shores
That drag away hope filled dreams to distant seas
