Analysis of ~ Coming Undone ~
I walk through a desert of snow,
is it the cold of my heart
that's froze?
I run through a forest of seas,
is it me that's drowning,
or this a dream?
I fly through a sky of night,
is it my eyes that are blind,
or all in my mind?
I stand up to my knees in mud,
can't move
sinking
slow,
is it that what I need
to let go?
I sit for what seems
like hours,
but only seconds
have past.
I wonder why the world
is uncovering
my mask...
I move toward the mirror,
I look at my face
I know it's still me,
but my feelings
have been
erased
I am numb,
I walk through stones,
I cross the other side
of hell
alone
I've learned, all I've been through
is all that I know
All I know, is what I've been through
Don't know how, to open my wings
I wish to see the angels,
of this my
dreams
