Mar 2012
Heavy sweat drips from my grimly face
And I tell the devil that I forbid him
From ever giving me solemn advice again
No contracts will be drawn from his burning quiver
No delicate words of truth exchanged
My thoughts pass through his muddy swamp
And tread lightly on solid ground
So beware my anger
Beware my gracefulness
Beware my subconscious
And beware my self
For he is the most reluctant to trust
I don't blame her for this decision
I don't blame me for my past
You will hate me for all of this
But at least I will be departed
For my ***** hands have gone transparent
I cannot guarantee the safety of my soul
The scars are always upon me
I will not tell you where I'm going
I will not say a word
I will not be this person
That has no self respect
I'll push my hand up from this soil
Like the undead that walk the night
Let me go
Watch me go
I'm never coming back
I'm never going back
I'm letting go
Now watch me fall
Watch me fall
