Ignite my soul,
Set me a flight,
Let me live,
Make me whole.

Live.
Touch the darkest places,
Make them white.
Give me light,
Illuminate the faces.

Heal.
Faces of love, anger, hate.
Ever still.
Growing bolder, growing colder.
I wish my heart, be still.

Kill.
This pain is just too real.
Can you tell me how I feel?
Paint the faces, draw them now!
Paint the darkness.
Sadness.
Can you do this for me?
Save my soul, from the start.
For I cannot see within my own heart.

This one came at me in an flash of emotions all at once. I had to write down all the words I heard all over my paper before I could put it together!
