Burning bridges
Stab me in the back again
Why don't you
Disappearing in a blink of an eye
But when it benefits you
You're my friend
I don't know how I got here
But I know where I am
In despair
I'm in despair
But I am not so desperate
To take your hand again

For love we seek to unwrite the laws of nature
To wash our hands of old wisdom
To fight through to innovative truths
Discover new perspectives
Challenge the old ways
Decimate dogmas
Devour godly decrees
To set our world free
From the tyranny
Of the stagnant mind

I watch them walk away
And though I rage against
Their warlike ways
I cannot make them stay
My fingers are not strong enough
To stop the fists that fall on us
The bullets fire
The drones go on
Burning our earth
With liquid destruction
Turning time and life
Into nothing
And no matter what I write
Eyes always turn to the night
And the fools go marching
Stomping on to death

I feel lost and forgotten
The white light strings
No longer tether me
To hope

The pattern of people’s behavior
Is not something I savor
I tire of trying to play savoir
To the mad mass of human cattle

Love is but an illusion
Dull despondent
I no longer long for it
A bitter mistress
Who I undress
With no more self-delusion

It is a fog and as all fogs do
It must pass
I must ask
Myself to be patient
But it runs very deep
And I would rather go to sleep
