Wear you heart on a severed sleeve
Never question but always believe
Let the sharp grass pierce your skin and sleep on soft bricks
People that don’t even realise they’re sick
Cry to the rhythm don’t stray from the beat
Of amillion souls as they shriek from the deep
shut up sit down and go back to sleep
Dream of a better world that you could keep
Breath in fresh air from inside your cage
Finish the last and dont start a new page
Pledge your alligience to the iron bars
That keep you trapped in this world of ours
Wonder but don’t quite fly up to the stars
Hold your head high and cover your scars
Set the world on fire and let it explode
Watch this crippled world as it turns to stone
Is this somewhere that you once called home?
And you go far and wide just because you’re free to roam
And you sit atop a hill
And you write a poem
You see a sunrise so pretty you’re sad that its going
The violins play
night seeps into day
Not with a happy tune
But relief, it ends soon
It’s refreshing to know
That there’s nought you can do
So you finish the story
And it all ends with you.
