Caught between opposing forces a decision clenched in my hands When the rock I see on my silk sheets becomes my task Entrapped I can hear how few question morning or so it seems When I am resting on the angry seas outside my grasp A thorn buried in the middle disappears into air again and again Painting a lonely sensation found by willing hands Breath traded when my Rome fell forgotten in time’s indifference Small guarantees left bearing a yielding finger’s friends Anticipated territory knows not what is nursed inside of emotions Stillness feels shame too late for fortune’s spinning wheel Caught between opposing forces measured by man’s own fire I find I have come back to feed on the emptiness I feel The rock I see on my silk sheets is the first bite I swallow My own hands will find this thorn buried in the middle One by one I will conquer what clings inside my thoughts Until these opposing forces hand over my acquittal

My Acquittal
Caught between opposing forces a decision clenched in my hands When the rock I see on my silk sheets becomes my task Entrapped I can hear how few question morning or so it seems When I am resting on the angry seas outside my grasp A thorn buried in the middle disappears into air again and again Painting a lonely sensation found by willing hands Breath traded when my Rome fell forgotten in time’s indifference Small guarantees left bearing a yielding finger’s friends Anticipated territory knows not what is nursed inside of emotions Stillness feels shame too late for fortune’s spinning wheel Caught between opposing forces measured by man’s own fire I find I have come back to feed on the emptiness I feel The rock I see on my silk sheets is the first bite I swallow My own hands will find this thorn buried in the middle One by one I will conquer what clings inside my thoughts Until these opposing forces hand over my acquittal
