The Sovereign spins string on its fingertips Creating a tapestry of one’s existence Forced and bound tightly with silk Silk braided into barbered wires Choking and constricting to the very core Thread searing and branding the body Trapped in a web of deceit Puppeteering while I try to lead Captivated by crystalline chains Chains which bind me to the eternal night I stare at the darkness The darkness stares back Writhing in these woven webs Struggling and suffocating In harmonious cacophony Desperately clawing towards freedom The crystalline chains crack Braided silk unravels into strands Woven webs wax and wane Nature’s hold withers away Released from the cocoon of futility Threads of fate snapped and spindled Forced tapestry destroyed and left undone Replaced by a blank piece of cloth

Silk Shackles
The Sovereign spins string on its fingertips Creating a tapestry of one’s existence Forced and bound tightly with silk Silk braided into barbered wires Choking and constricting to the very core Thread searing and branding the body Trapped in a web of deceit Puppeteering while I try to lead Captivated by crystalline chains Chains which bind me to the eternal night I stare at the darkness The darkness stares back Writhing in these woven webs Struggling and suffocating In harmonious cacophony Desperately clawing towards freedom The crystalline chains crack Braided silk unravels into strands Woven webs wax and wane Nature’s hold withers away Released from the cocoon of futility Threads of fate snapped and spindled Forced tapestry destroyed and left undone Replaced by a blank piece of cloth
