Deathsafe

Delicate, desolate I’m undeserving of any of it Scared of happiness We shy away Rejecting bounties as the anguish purveys No not again The truth has shackled you down Prevented you from the mend To see there’s nothing To save what is dead Looking through the pane And nothing connects A charitable love, and a lifetime of spite A coward in hiding, a dog without the bite The sufferer of self, and all that it brings The moments you wept, and the mercy it brings Spigot of truth runs But my mouth is dry Years of the inevitable To see i’m cast aside Looking through the pane, nothing can connect It takes the final bite The force that breaks the neck Cold dead eyes And everything they take Swimming against the fire With my insides filled full of gasoline To see there’s nothing To save what is dead Looking through the pane And nothing connects The words of yesterday The weight of tomorrow Forever burning paths Hiding from sorrow I’ve had enough this time I’ve had enough of drowning
