Windows - Dani Shay

My senses are my windows,

I can only see as far as these eyes will go

I’m taking in the colour schemes and

Using them to paint unforgotten dreams

And I sit inside my questions, I know

I need to leave them alone

Because my mind distracts me from feelings

With thoughts that are not my own

My senses are my windows,

I can only hear as far as these ears will go

I’m taking in the harmonies and

Using them to create new stories

My senses are my windows,

I can smell and taste as far as this face will go

As I breathe in the common air

I pollute my body with the smoke you share

You can not hear sight

And you can not see taste

You can not smell touch

And you can not touch sound

I think I found the answer now

We’re on the inside looking out

But I sit inside my questions, I know

I need to leave them alone

Because my mind distracts me from feelings

With thoughts that are not my own

My senses are my windows,

I can only touch as far as this skin will go

As I absorb the sun and the rain

I can feel my temperature start to change

And I sit inside my questions, I know

I need to leave them alone

Because my mind distracts me from feelings

With thoughts that are not my own
