Make me Feel Alive

I like the imagery I put into this one. I feel like I could have done much better with the actual poem though.

Burn my eyes until I know.

Buy my soul and say it's sold.

On the tip of your tongue--

Those tales untold

And all the little things,

So dearly we hold.

Throw them.

Throw them into the sun,

Singed to a crisp

And long unknown.

Feel the flame flicker on your palm,

The cutting of your wrist to the merchant's song,

Please stay calm,

sing along--

Throw the steel and splash the blood

Into the rain and the pouring flood.

Wash away all those sins 

And our sense of right and wrong,

Until we're dead and gone.

Run, run, run away.

You and I cannot escape.

Into the sun--run, run, run in faith,

From the flood, a roaring fate.

Make me feel alive.

Blow my brains into the sky.

Let my thoughts soar to endless heights.

Beyond reason and out of sight.

We are the demons in the shadows,

Left alone to fight our battles,

But they say our demons are inside,

Deep in our hearts, held in bloody ties,

So we reach inside our chest, plunge our fist 

Through a ribbed bone vest.

Our hearts cannot rest as we try our very best.

And now we give.

We live and let live.

Forced to walk that muddy road

Between the sun and god only knows.

Run, run, run away.

You and I cannot escape.

Into the sun--run, run, run in faith,

From the flood, a roaring fate.

Make me feel alive.

Blow my brains into the sky.

Let my thoughts soar to endless heights.

Beyond reason and out of sight.

Make me feel alive
