Mazy Ellis - Left For Dead

The glow of a warm heart is hidden by its suppressor

It is the only one you can't alone repair

This tear isn't self-inflicted

To justify would be to lie

The pain is tucked away

It rises over the years like bile

Setting your throat afire

The feeling is agonizing

But all you see is a soft grimace

You pay no notice

To what you have started

You stand there with you lighter

You are careless with this mighty element

My world is overturned

You walk away your laugh in the breeze

While I lie here burning inside out

I close my eyes with defeat

But I feel a chilled breeze

It chills the flame

I open my eyes to see

An open heart

It holds me

The soft whisper

Says

I'm sorry

Mazy Ellis
