Every failure of my character
Throws and rails against this bone cage
Blood and Bone deep folly
Chasing any hope of rest or death
Crushed flower, broken swinging bridge
A river of memories turned tide of self pity
Turned vicious biting realization
But the stone was cast and the current's a Thief
My actions made consequences
My thoughtless uncaring made enemies
My stone caused a ripple
And the ripple
A Tide

Every failure of my character
Throws and rails against this bone cage
Blood and Bone deep folly
Chasing any hope of rest or death
Crushed flower, broken swinging bridge
A river of memories turned tide of self pity
Turned vicious biting realization
But the stone was cast and the current's a Thief
My actions made consequences
My thoughtless uncaring made enemies
My stone caused a ripple
And the ripple
A Tide
