Not thoughtless    enough to  ****  all day long Not thoughtful    enough to  escape the hood Not petty    enough to  market my  ancient little lies Not honest    enough with my  self  to    out  grow  these twisted  vines    All along, I've been friends, only with the pen    The pen is kind to me when  I've  blown  my chances, myself    Slice  a  Y  you'll find    The  heart  is  pa - per    The  blood  has taken ink    All along, I've been friends, only with the pen    All along, I've not been my own  by extension, not myself    No way I ever was    If you could only see me now  my friends

Blasted armor cracked open with holes Watch as I crawl on my knees til I find The right place to stand. Pay no mind To the pain wracking burned flesh to The pain of memories empty now In regret after so many years spent Trying to escape, desperately forget All of the wounds that made me the Fire I am. These days my fire still burns down low I can't forget if I wanted and I did and And it drove me underneath. Unearth Me now in this old aching body to Undermine my quest for rest. I sure it's just death now bringing Death and I'm a part of it. Cog. In the dirt. Wet earth. I rise. With all of my brethren. Reclaim. Reclaimers hunt and Claim during night. Safety in Day. That's a queer sunset isn't it? I came here ****** left the same way, Returned with cracks in the head And a heart of mud full of maggots As an ***** We all did. We do. We all did.
