You opened the gate
Cut from the race
I picked up the blade
Severed from grace
All those tethers
Bound by feeling
The emptiness
Of your presence
No more goodbyes
The last of those ties
Undone
And the free man returns
To the way
Of his word
A monk on a mountain
Detached from everything
Soon to be
Detached from life
Leaving behind
The flesh, the bone
And a word
Dream
Pop a pill and watch them die
No need to smile, no need to cry
One shot
One stabbed
Another fried
Who gives a shit
They played
They lied
This game has rules
You can’t defy
So be the life
They can’t deny
Just be…
One more dance
A familiar one
To come undone
By our own hands
We know the steps
Our last regrets
Our last confession
Takes the stand
The laws of nature
Brought us here
To confront fear
And brave the world
The great unknown
Still chills the bone
Yet deep in to it
We must be hurled
Burn bright
My shooting star
It’s time
To even scores
You were born
In to the fight
It’s time
To fight once more
Count your scars
With cool revenge
Thumping
In your brain
Sharpened wits
Adrenaline
Pumping
Through your veins
It’s all a game
It’s all a game
Until the hunt
Drives you insane
Just take them down
Bring balance back
And then just
Slowly walk away…
The storm has passed
For now
We managed to survive
Somehow
After all the ups and downs
Feeling like we drowned
We found each others arms
But how?
The silence that prevails
Is dear
We somehow overcame
The fear
After all the tears and loss
We left behind what once was
Now we wonder where to go
From here
Don’t shy away
From what you are
It’s fundamental
To perception
What we see
Is who you are
And yet that may be
Pure deception
Every word
You vocalize
May be a lie
May beg the question
Are you
Who you think you are
Or are you just
A pale reflexion
Of what was taught
Of what was told
Sponged up
In your infancy
Are you a tool
A simple fool
Denying your will
To be free…
