Liars // Trudge

As serenity floods, driving my brain in circles

Humility reminds me to just let the composure be

God grant me the power to know the things I can change

The things I can't, and the difference

But this pain has a face

Vilified, unstricken

Deeper than what my soul can give, higher than my mind

Sharing all of my late night testimonies while your tongues touch

As the rat creeps past my eyes, onto your legs

Dragging my mourning through the streets of our town

First impressions, second glances at souls you'd think you know

Have you ever dreamed you would wake up dead?

I'd swear that I have, but my word is temporary

Residence of a mind's eye

Endless fucking trudge

Recognition versus the ability to let go

Of the places and people that destroy me the most

In ways, there is no rhythm or reason

And in that lies the sickness

You just know, you just know

You just know, you just know
