Decent Decency


Draw me a mountain, the sky and the sea Draw me a heart that's forgot how to bleed Show me your pain, what it's like in your mind Let me see the rain, and what you felt at the time I want to understand and gently hold your hand Drown in the clouds and breathe if I can Draw me the eyes that first told you lies Draw me the hurt of your last goodbye Of the trees that lead you home and memories you hold dear The dark when you're alone, the demons that you fear   Because your cries aren't quite the same as mine And your highs change depending on the time. Draw me the broken of what was spoken Draw me the sun that has yet to be woken. Give me the reason behind that brown streak in your hair Your favorite season and why you forgot how to care The pain in your heart, that won't let you go You falling apart at what you don't know Draw me the future, or really anything As long as it's real, and has decent decency
