[Verse 1]

I found a thought in my brain

Something I haven't seen in here for days

I asked before it escaped

What brought you here to this desolate place?

[Pre-Chorus]

Using blood for ink, I watch my stories fade

Writing poetry with thoughts that I erased

Every phrase that never saw the light of day

Will become the only words I ever say

[Chorus]

And I hope that somehow

My soul will calm down

As I learn to pronounce

The language I betrayed

As I sweat from my brow

And decipher these vowels

May I comprehend doubt

With thoughts that never stayed

[Verse 2]

I felt my conscience awake

It seemed to scare all my ideas away

I asked if it would behave

I wish I knew how to make it obey

[Pre-Chorus]

Using ink for blood, I write until I'm drained

Leaving memories I hate upon the page

I don't think I'll ever see the light of day

If I leave a piece of me to pave the way

[Chorus]

And I hope that somehow

My soul will calm down

As I learn to pronounce

The language I betrayed

As I sweat from my brow

And decipher these vowels

May I comprehend doubt

With thoughts that never stayed

[Bridge]

And though they never stay

I will find a place

To sit and contemplate

Until I awaken all that I am, now

[Chorus]

And I hope that somehow my soul will calm down

As I learn to pronounce the language I betrayed

As I sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels

May I comprehend doubt

With thoughts that never stayed

[Outro]

I found a thought in my brain

Something I haven't seen in here for days

I watched it walk through my veins

Out through my fingertips into the page
