Heirloom

I belong blinded in a mask that will shut me up But don’t refute my generous self order to gag As my personal struggle belongs with my intent to speak on my behalf with a bladed tongue cutting you in half I saved you I spared you I maimed you I changed you There’s an heirloom hanging around Like an old soul that’s watching me I knew you weren’t going nowhere fast You’re too different they said in fact, heirloom You will forget more than I will ever know Breathe Lifе has always challenged me Brеathe Like a precious artifact Breathe Life has always challenged me Breathe Like a precious artifact hanging from a burning tree Here I stand as an heirloom From a burning tree I hang Battered, beloved, burning heirloom Watch me age, engage, consume They stole you They overtook you They killed you They remade you Now looking back There was writing on the wall Our lives mimicked tower falls Burning bastards falling faster Save what you can that will make your grave a happy home Save what you can that will make your piece of mind live on, end on, and gone They’ve caught us now Our time has come to be the one that stalls Just breathe alone I’m hanging I’m burning I’m falling much faster Just breathe
