I'll hide you in my sketches
Try to keep you from my heart

You were once the whispered prayer
Now a name I barely know
But I trace you in the corners
Where old memories grow

I try to keep you out of my mind
But you enter through every seam
Like the echoes of a love song
In the distance, in a dream

Every line I draw
You somehow slip through

Tell me...
If I could burn these sketches down
Would the ashes set me free?
Or would you just rise from the flame
Like a prayer lost at sea?

I carry you in silence
In the hardness of this space

I try to keep you from my mind
But you slip through every seam
Like a song I can't forget
Like a half remembered dream

If I could burn these sketches down
Would the ashes set me free?
Or would you just rise from the flame
Like a prayer lost at sea?
