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
