Pages of burning emotion flutter through the wind Flipping from one end of my journey and milestones to the other Letting the sun kiss each page as it transfers The ink is dry But the blood, and tears I've graced these pages with are very much still running through the words planted in the same field. My pen screamed and etched images of my future As my brain burned with a passion magnified by a deep sickness And as the gunshots of thought blare My pen rams the pages And then silence The scribbling scratches of the quill quiets down And the accelerated breathing turns soft and shakey The Prophet ends his journal entry With a slice of the thumb A bit of blood smeared on his art to ensure his life stays with it And a night of deep sobbing stalking closely behind.

Dry Ink × Wet Blood
Pages of burning emotion flutter through the wind Flipping from one end of my journey and milestones to the other Letting the sun kiss each page as it transfers The ink is dry But the blood, and tears I've graced these pages with are very much still running through the words planted in the same field. My pen screamed and etched images of my future As my brain burned with a passion magnified by a deep sickness And as the gunshots of thought blare My pen rams the pages And then silence The scribbling scratches of the quill quiets down And the accelerated breathing turns soft and shakey The Prophet ends his journal entry With a slice of the thumb A bit of blood smeared on his art to ensure his life stays with it And a night of deep sobbing stalking closely behind.
