Change the Words - Ien Oblique

I’m suspended again

Restless and trapped in lies

Waiting here to feel

A touch that might seem real

All alone in the dark

An end reflects from my eyes

Looking here for signs

Or something quick to silence the cries

Change the words

Rewrite the story

That I’ve etched deep inside

Be cruel

Let the truth sink down

And this hope might fade away

The dark reality’s here

To show me

I’m not the one

I’m surrounded again

With plans that I can’t fulfill

Searching here to find

An image of a happier life

Gripping harder each day

Like sand it falls from my hands

And the tighter that I try to hold

The more I have to just let go

Change the words

Rewrite the story

That I’ve etched deep inside

Be cruel

Let the truth sink down

And this hope might fade away

The dark reality’s here

To show me

I’m not the one

The dark reality’s here

To show me

I’m not the one
