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
