The Lost Years

Overtime

You stare
Looking straight at me
Is there
A single thing you see? 
You view me rotting 
Under the floor
I want you to bury
Me no more.

Don't look with closed eyes
You won't make a discovery
Or maybe you'll find
Something imaginary.

Your eyes are closed
Your ears are shut
It's time to expose. 

This shell
Is broken and raw
Does that mean I'm an
Ailing dog?
We all dwell
Deep beneath our skin
How far have you been? 

Don't look with closed eyes
You won't make a discovery
Or maybe you'll find
Something imaginary.

Your eyes are closed
Your ears are shut
It's time to expose.
