Sep 2014
Inhale exhale the sorrow
Release burdens borrowed
Lacerate the final tie
That holds us to this lie
A life of plastic
Soul so elastic
Stretch till thin
Pulling the threads
Tearing the self from within

Walk the path
The one not taken
Walk on the grass
Avoid the cobble
****** to death
**** the martyr
Take the heretic
To the gallows

Trust the blood
The crimson link
We’re all bound
By this chain

Cells within
Cages created
Walls built up
No wonder we’re jaded
So I’ve faded
Back to the real
Numbness gone
Please, tell me how I should feel

Opinions of old
Are the options of the young?
No new muse
Just the breeze
And the smell of the willow tree

Fall onto one knee
Pray to the master
False façade
Image shattered
So walk alone
No footsteps follow
Keep on walking
Do not wallow
