And so they say I’d try
And now I feel the skin burn
Blackened spillage of forever embers
Flowing over what was careening forwards
This character I was once beaming
Tumbled over in a mess of folk lore
Like pages in book that were torn
Feel my thoughts turn
Book ends that fall in minds created from sin
The more that I’ve grown from the ground that I sow
Capture the darkness in place where the sparks live
In hopes they ignite where my legs need to go
Kiss the flames, the skull will now burn
Watch them dance, how pretty they were
Moving like their arms have taken forms of serpents with old demon ways
Walls form the land of the home that I rest my last days broken in
Scars are the map that I run my fingers over what was an ageless end
Running downhill in the dark of night
My only time I’ve ever been a beacon of light
The skull it burns
Igniting my ideas I’ve earned
The skull it burns
Now I see what others always tried in the wake of the rise
You had visions that turned you right?
There is nothing you can say or you can do can ever return it
Nothing you can say or you can do will ever matter
Vacant and slight
This place is now haunted with memories that look foreign
Through flames now it’s only smoke I eat
Ingesting fumes of lost disgrace
I’m no longer hungry
Goodnight, for we now part
