Lines in the Sand

there are things I wish that I could tell you
but they are mysteries to even me
I've been known to draw lines in the sand
that mean nothing to anyone but me

there are spectors waiting in the dark
night ghasts with no mercy in their hearts
I close my eyes but visions will not cease
my minds infested with vague memories

all I've ever had are words
you can't take them away
help me find the right ones
to express the things I need to say

hypnotize me if that's what it takes
take away the fear so I can speak
I have stories locked away inside
truth is all I need now to be free

music it can help to heal the pain
but lately it just feels like there's too much
compelled to do the things that stop my brain
from thinking about anything at all

all I've ever had are words
you can't take them away
help me find the right ones
to express the things I need to say

my wand is a tree branch
I'm casting spells again
creating sigils out of
my lines drawn in the sand
