Ignite It
By: Taylor Donnelly



Its like a summer is blazing in my stomach

And a lightning storm is in my head

So my eyes must be having an early spring rain

But these salty tears taste like the sea

So we can drive along the beach

Arms dragging though the wind wiped air

And see the birds as they cry too

The sun burns deep branding us

So we know when we leave that we are still it's

So don't you say that I've never been claimed

What I've never been is calmed

Peel this layer of disaster from my shoulders

Its just dead skin covering a dead heart

But with a little electricity we can ignite it again

Make it thud in this hollow chest

Make it echo in your ears again
