"Locked Away Thoughts"

Thoughts are locked away for good
It was just my mind playing tricks
But thoughts come back and hang around like nobody's there
No matter how much I tried to fight them, they cut right through me

Voices both distant and just close enough to hear
Whispered soft words on such a windy day
You can never know
When you'll have a chance to touch

Or to see that maybe you're worth it
Love has come and gone by already
You were harboring all the anger and hate inside
But I'm here to bring you back again

Not everyone is destined to see the truth
So let me get it out myself this time
To remind you what you've forgotten
That love can start over the broken pieces

Every breath I take away the perfume
Of what once was
These thoughts choke my throat
And they can never be found and they can never be opened.
