The Color Within

What's inside? Covered outside with no key Begging to come in Only to steal your dignity Painting patiently Image taking shape Desperate to find the color within Struggling to see Missing pieces left to unwind We're no better Than the voice that's heard inside Painting patiently Image taking shape Desperate to find the color within Sometimes I can't see Meanings with my own eyes With every action The fire inside me slowly dies If I could make it The way I want it be Well I'd not settle For your promise of my sanity Can you hear them? Words meant to tear you down Eyes are clearing Tears wash happiness not found
