jacob lee – thoughts lyrics
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?
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
and i hope that somehow my soul will calm down
as i learn to pr+nounce the language i betrayed
as i sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
may i comprehend doubt
with thoughts that never stayed
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
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
and i hope that somehow my soul will calm down
as i learn to pr+nounce the language i betrayed
as i sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
may i comprehend doubt
with thoughts that never stayed
and though they never stay
i will find a place
to sit and contemplate
until i awaken all that i am, now
and i hope that somehow my soul will calm down
as i learn to pr+nounce the language i betrayed
as i sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
may i comprehend doubt
with thoughts that never stayed
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
