Beneath the cold inlay
Distant and named
This skin is shed but thin
Where to start, where to begin
Four eyes cannot see the same
Just say those words that hurt
In myself
I've found the strength to say
A storm is coming
I won't succumb to fear
I hope
Never to return
To that place
Where I don't want to be
I must not
Forget what I've learned
In that place
Of adversity
No light can shine through me
Resistant yet inflamed
From innocence into a cold embrace
Some scars may never see the light again
Four eyes paint a different trail
Repeat those unheard words
Despite your tears I've found the strength to say
A storm is coming
I won't succumb to fear
I must not forget how this world is meant to be seen
I must not forget
I must not
