Map of my Soul

By Bleeding Tree

If I made a map of my soul

What would it contain

Where would everything go

What would not remain

Where would I put all the guilt inside

The pain, the lonliness, and anger

Where would they reside

And what of the empty hanger

Where I put all my lies

The butterflies in my stomach

The guilt in my eyes

If I made a map of my soul

Where would you be

Next to the prison cell

Or the need to be free
