Inside/Outside

"Go touch grass," they tell me,
And honestly,
I'm most at peace
in the leaves
because in the box
where you locked me,
I can't find my dreams.

Darkness swallows me whole,
There's no time within this soul,
Did I lose a day,
a month,
a year?
I can't remember why I'm here.

I want to be outside,
where they leave me be,
in the dreams, on the ground
where my soul is sound.
Where I feel free.

Lock me inside again,
put me back in chains,
where did the days go?
They were stolen,
And I can't get them back,
It's strength that I lack.

An invisible thread tying me down,
I can't seem to make a sound,
It's ripped away,
day,
after day,
after
day.

I want to be outside,
where they leave me be,
in the dreams, on the ground,
where my soul is sound.
Where I feel free.

And sometimes I awake this dream,
I look around at the green,
I feel relief,
an indescribable release,
And that's when I break free.
Let me break free.

I want to be outside,
where they leave me be,
in the dreams, on the ground,
where my soul is sound.
Where I feel free.

Where I am free.

Where I can just be.

Lost Notes

You let me lose those notes,
They toppled to the ground,
Fallen drumsticks, beating down,
But without a sound.

A twisted throat, a missing tune,
Where once was song went mute,
Scrambling in the darkness,
You let me fall.

I let them go.

Please come back to me
Be the breath in my lungs
Revive the deep
Longing in my soul
Return what I need.

Tears come to my eyes,
Frozen on my cheeks, they can't fall.
Notes slipping through
Sound only echoes.

I lost the music,
Rip me apart from inside out
A hollow emptiness of what was
Broken, but not your concern.

Please come back to me
Be the breath in my lungs
Revive the deep
Longing in my soul
Return what I need.

Return.

I let them go.

Come back to me now.
Fill my lips with the words
The notes in my soul
A song in my throat
Meaning to measure.

I let them go.

Please come back to me
Be the breath in my lungs
Revive the deep
Longing in my soul
Return what I need.

Please 

Please.

I won't let them go.
