Call My Name

If I try to hide myself

Will you see me?

If I try to burn it down

Will you care?

If I try to hurt myself

Will you save me?

If I must be unburdened

Will you dare?

If I die today

Will you miss me?

No comfort there for either

When I'm gone

It hurts to breathe, it hurts to think

You love me

It hurts because I know

I don't belong

Paralysis of options

My feet held to the flames

If you feel you need me

Call my name

Time...

Is the great oppressor

Time...

Takes it all away

Time is so precious, yet grinds you down

It pushes you forward, it spins you around

Time turns the dream into something

I can't convey

Swirling possibilities

Are endlessly declaimed

If you find you need me

Call my name

If I must bear the burden

I will not bear the shame

If you feel you must cleanse your soul

Call my name

Call my name

Call my name

Call my name
