Broken Oars

I've lost my sight in these clouded lies

I never wanted for you to find out

I kept it all inside

I can't confide, god knows I tried

It's hard to sleep while these demons haunt me all hours of the night

These brittle broken oars

Aren't able to row me ashore

Take my words and wring them dry

So just forget these things

And let me drift on out to sea

I'll give you anything other than me

I can't relate

I'm losing faith

But I know I'll see your face again

Your broken bones will mend

While mine stay laced with malcontent

All my shallow misshapen words are yours

Just say what you mean

I can't take back what I've seen

I've hung myself with the noose that you wove

You won't ever know

I can't relate

You've lost your faith

I doubt I'll see your face again

I see your brown eyes they close from the spark

I can never hold your heart

If you believe me I will seek the best

Hope to live in happiness

Hope to live without this mess
