Let Me In
Blanked out eyes
You're not really here
Body here
But soul not near
Expressionless face
Smooth soft skin
So tempted to touch it
But afraid you won't let me in
Don't want to be brushed off
Or told no again
Don't wanna break down
Don't want any suffering
Just want to let go
And tell you everything
Let you know what's up
And let you in
Blanked out eyes
You're not really here
Body here
But soul not near
Expressionless face
Smooth soft skin
So tempted to touch it
But afraid you won't let me in
