Fought for the flag
I pray to every day
Now this country
Has gone "funny"
Protected us from the prey
Served my purpose
Time to be thrown away
Sidelines grow closer
I am forgotten, what a drag.

Wake up
Get out of your chamber
That makes you lamer
Cook mediocre breakfast
[Burnt]
Like every time
Get in the shower
Clean every inch
[You burnt the toast]
Brush the bones
Out of your skin
Pain that's akin
To a lengthy equation
[Can't believe it]
Get on the bus
Travel down the lane
Toward work met with disdain
[You burnt it like always]
I burnt it
Down to embers
Maybe home is where I'll go
This isn't my stop
[Your collar's out of line]
[You'll soon run out of time]
[Already half-way]
[Down the throne]
The bed is where I belong
[Sorry boss, I'm ill]
Work will be done
Just without me.

Descended deep
Into a sleeping realm
Couldn't be believed
Unless in a film
The world bounced
Like the castle
At a 7-year-old's party
Giddy and pure
Yet when I leaped
Toward the clouds
The ground burst like a balloon
Descended like a fallen angel
What happened to those days?
When did the giddiness...
...get snuffed out like a torch?

I wish I understood
Such a concept
But it's not my deal
Interrupted by feel
No matter the angle
Pray for an angel
Never shall descend
For a meager scenario
Yet to me...
It defines who I'll be.

To feel safe
To feel wanted
To feel alive
To feel like I'm flying
Away
From pain and decay
Nothing else to say
This is why we play
Our role out
In a group
Dedicated
To a false god
Promising love and peace
To the world, forever far.

Uh oh...
Something went wrong
That tends to happen
When writing a love song.

Frantically sprinting
Down a corridor of twilight
Dead end reached
Grabbed violently
Spun around 180
A figure with a twisted spine
The shape of an S
Mouth unhinged
From out of it came
A static voice:
Once I make a fist
Some life will be dismissed
11 inch long fingers
Bundled together
Like a dead spider's limbs
Awoke I sat up in my bed
Upon my nightstand
Light emerging
The phone is ringing...
