Soft Eyes-Roommate

Roommate Soft Eyes [i played and played and played and played and played and i played and played and played and played and played] fireflies under the water 16 years in the sun skin cracked & boiling wait for my letter starfires under the water 3000 nights in the cold shivering half-dreams of terrified godheads and souls trapped in amber [i prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and i prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed] white flags into the slaughter 5 or more lifetimes locked in a cell poems and christmas cards, greetings from hopeful meetings-- 'stay strong / keep on keepin' on / take care / hope you are well' [i paid and paid and paid and paid and paid and i paid and paid and paid and paid and paid] soft eyes under the water one sickly flame in the dark can there be hope when there are no more illusions? can a candle burn bright enough to bring back vision? bring back my vision take me from my mission make me someone good.
