In Disguise   (6-23-8)

Words I hope to never say
Wish me away
Like I'm sure you always do
How to get away from here

Don't know what to do
Want to hide away
And forget about it all

Everything I hold dear
Doesn't seem to feel the same way
About me

The rain is soaking my skin
These days have grown tired of me
Turn away
To forget the story
That wasn't written for me

I say goodbye from an empty place
Somehow I'm not who I used to be
And I hate that part of me

The water now running down my arms
Is giving way for my summer skin
To fall away and be gone

On the night before last
I was hoping it would all change
like each season before the next
Now I aimlessly wander around
Visiting old friends still left in my head

If only I could re-open my eyes
And everything be different
Like an election carried on in my heart
With great hope and desire
