Lines
The winds gather pace underneath her skin
She calls on a storm with her fingertips
Entwined in the battles that rage within
She longs to be free from the cage she's in
Her eyes flushed with photographs soaked in red
Of her licking her fingers as she bled
Of lines that they drew so she stays within
Did they know the taste of it like she did?
And she's walking out
Of the lines made across the floor
And the mouths are gagged
Of the ones that she's known so long
Pretences dropped
That she doesn't enjoy the taste
And she's searching for more
The face she's smearing all over with ash in hands
Is a face she guarded all her life
And the name she's wearing all over her skin and mind
Is a name she fought with all her might
When she played inside the lines
A smoke of their voices engulfs her eyes
They're mourning the loss of a long-known child
She knew there's no reason to shed a tear
When insane masqueraded in spotless white
And she's walking out
Of the lines made across the floor
And the mouths are gagged
Of the ones that she's known so long
Pretences dropped
That she doesn't enjoy the taste
And she's searching for more
The face she's smearing all over with ash in hands
Is a face she guarded all her life
And the name she's wearing all over her skin and mind
Is a name she fought with all her might
When she played inside the lines
She crawled to the edge of the tame
Where her heart and her brain
Can't tell the play from pain
So close to the touch is her shame
That she could finally face
When she had the words
That never were said
The face she's smearing all over with ash in hands
Is a face she guarded all her life
And the name she's wearing all over her skin and mind
Is a name she fought with all her might
When she played inside the lines
She calls on a storm with her fingertips
Entwined in the battles that rage within
She longs to be free from the cage she's in
Her eyes flushed with photographs soaked in red
Of her licking her fingers as she bled
Of lines that they drew so she stays within
Did they know the taste of it like she did?
And she's walking out
Of the lines made across the floor
And the mouths are gagged
Of the ones that she's known so long
Pretences dropped
That she doesn't enjoy the taste
And she's searching for more
The face she's smearing all over with ash in hands
Is a face she guarded all her life
And the name she's wearing all over her skin and mind
Is a name she fought with all her might
When she played inside the lines
A smoke of their voices engulfs her eyes
They're mourning the loss of a long-known child
She knew there's no reason to shed a tear
When insane masqueraded in spotless white
And she's walking out
Of the lines made across the floor
And the mouths are gagged
Of the ones that she's known so long
Pretences dropped
That she doesn't enjoy the taste
And she's searching for more
The face she's smearing all over with ash in hands
Is a face she guarded all her life
And the name she's wearing all over her skin and mind
Is a name she fought with all her might
When she played inside the lines
She crawled to the edge of the tame
Where her heart and her brain
Can't tell the play from pain
So close to the touch is her shame
That she could finally face
When she had the words
That never were said
The face she's smearing all over with ash in hands
Is a face she guarded all her life
And the name she's wearing all over her skin and mind
Is a name she fought with all her might
When she played inside the lines
