would it slow your breath to hear they lied?
they only came to watch you die.
and as the lightning splits the sky
You soul is their canopy of life.


I can’t deny all that I feel
the pain and rage, I can’t reveal.
we walked together down this road.
now I’m alone, or so I’m told.
all of the words we shared were sweet
delightful melodies of peat.
and as they fade out with the sun.
I know our story has not begun.
the bitterness that fills the air
they still surround and still don’t care
we were the stones cast in the sea
no one loves what they don’t need.
when we reached the end of this
road of twisted lines and trysts
with the devils in our hearts
why didn’t we bury them from the start.
I won’t believe we let them be
they laughed as our loves hung in the breeze.
such soft melodious screams
they damned our souls then left us to be.
to be what? what could we be?
our addiction to belief
that maybe we could be set free
the dust gathers blindly to our knees
as we beg them for relief
they feed us coffers of brass seeds
and expected us to accept the fee.
and so our skins were tightly bound
upon our grief that we had found.
we gave them all they asked of us
we walked away and turned to dust.
and as I stumbled down the stairs
of cobwebs, thorns and despair
I find that I am now alone
as all my friends, I watched unfold.
and when I think back on our path
I’m grief stricken to be the last
I couldn’t save us from myself
I couldn’t save you from yourselves.
I sometimes wonder if you had changed
could we have stood against them.
but I know you were gone long before,
I just never learned to let you go.
