I wanna melt into my bed,

Avoid the world outside.

I feel cold, loss of self control,

Like someone else is pulling all the ropes.

Lying still I stare into the black,

Letting all the words I've held back out into the emptiness,

I hope no one hears my screams from the window.

Close my eyes and count to ten...

The voices in my head are starting again,

We reach for stars but it's all in vain.

Close our eyes and try to imagine no pain.

I painted a picture,

A blank canvas was all they could see,

Spent hours mixing colors to find the most brilliant shades of blue, green, and purple.

And when it was complete, they only noticed the mistakes and could still see no significance in the color, except you.

You told me how there was a certain magic to my madness...

We spent the night in the grass, counting stars and mapping charts.

You have brilliant ideas and are often thought to be mad...

But I don't think so.

I hope you are the one,

The one who can see the burning in my eyes,

Breathe the fire in my lungs,

Take a chance on a love you've never heard of.
