Windows

My senses are my windows,
I can only see as far as these eyes will go
I'm taking in the colour schemes and
Using them to paint unforgotten dreams

And I sit inside my questions, I know
I need to leave them alone
Because my mind distracts me from feelings
With thoughts that are not my own

My senses are my windows,
I can only hear as far as these ears will go
I'm taking in the harmonies and
Using them to create new stories

My senses are my windows,
I can smell and taste as far as this face will go
As I breathe in the common air
I pollute my body with the smoke you share

You can not hear sight
And you can not see taste
You can not smell touch
And you can not touch sound

I think I found the answer now
We're on the inside looking out

But I sit inside my questions, I know
I need to leave them alone
Because my mind distracts me from feelings
With thoughts that are not my own

My senses are my windows,
I can only touch as far as this skin will go
As I absorb the sun and the rain
I can feel my temperature start to change

And I sit inside my questions, I know
I need to leave them alone
Because my mind distracts me from feelings
With thoughts that are not my own
