The darkness of the road That you left unexplored The you that never lived And all their smothered words You left yourself for dead Went on your merry way Let shadow claim what might Have been a better day You murderer, you coward Indulgent homicide You **** so many worlds With every careless stride

Wake
The skylight tints the afternoon grey And some dull, dusty oranges Perhaps there's fire, somewhere far away Somewhere far beyond the creaking shelves The time-varnished brown, rusty door hinges The air is thicker than the oldest tomes Sticky as the darkest aisle Where long-dead spiders once made their homes Minds caught in paper, minds caught in webs I think, if I think, I'll sleep for awhile
