1.
Let me assure you, this is not an attack on your well-being In-fact I hope you're feeling free and happy But this execution was handled poorly I hope for your sake that you don't feel as battered and empty as I do The frigid exterior that you've displayed I understand your need for it Defense mechanisms, well played See humanity wasn't supposed to fly And we flew together We almost touched the sun But when it came time to land You didn't even touchdown
2.
A land forged in blood and slavery, cannot be the land of the free The time is now and not around the corner With a sinking humanity, we're all bound to drown Raised to believe that we're the great elite A new dawn is upon us, either rise or fall This can only go so far, the people aren't small Fueling the fires, while they sacrifice them all For the sake of keeping order An old dying dream That's not sustainable, but blind and weak They care not for you, or your family Just a life of power, an era without peace
3.
The midst of the night consumes and devours the soul Leaving only the haunting and decaying thoughts ,left with the sole purpose to constrict and destroy A mirror appears in the narrow hallway Revealing a face that brings comfort and joy Only to fade and once again, left to roam the endless hallways A state of ensues, collapsing a lung Encasing the heart in a bed of thorns A smile overwhelms me, from my own face, while the blood trickles down the lips A bloodied grin, is better than nothing at all An anxious breath is better than being choked The ever-heavy presence of abandonment always follows and sometimes the world can see it's hideous face While you're being strung up, to have your insides exposed For what love you have lost, is never returning My heart drowns in a bed of thorns
