United

Hail! All Hail!

To the thief

As mother speaks a lie

The words will stain your mind

Like a last sigh or

A hiccup in outer-space

The worst mistake

Was allowing me in. . .

 

Don't let me in.

Do not let me in!

 

I will not stay here

If they win.

If they go at it again,

I'm ******* out of here!

 

Do you hear what I'm saying?

 

Hell! Oh hell!

In the trees

There is fire in your breath

From crosses not given yet

For my mouth was wide open,

Until, it was tailored shut.

Because, the best thing

Was to not listen.

 

Don't listen. . .

Do not listen!

 

I cannot be here

With you anymore.

I shut the door and

Got the **** out of there.

 

Do you understand me now?
