Everyday I wake in this dark place I grew up solely

Familiar faces all around I’ve never felt so lonely

 

 

Once leaving to return with riches many

I check my pockets for some cash

I haven’t got any
 

 

 

But whose to know – That riches go

On faces miles feet have wandered

I’ve never seen such worn wrecked skin 

Where darkness ponders
 

 

 
Yet one dark soul whose weights I ever bear

I judge thee not

My life I swear
 

 

 

 It is thee who drags me to these trenches

Oh, the bloody battle fought by one

I rise above

I’ve climbed many fences
 

 

 

Ever did I know – The pain you hath caused others so

Still I offer one more chance

If thee fail

I must go

 

 

Who has seen the gift for you

Was really meant for me

To learn thee true self

Hence, I did flee

 

 
It’s not the murderer in the night fleeing a bloody scene

Tis you the face of many

Dark soul makes me scream

 

 
You claw and gnaw at my very life force

Which to share – I would be willing

But only so much I can give

Then gone 

Like a ceremonial killing

 

 Ah, I put up my wall

Its all around you see

I’ve given you my very soul

Why can't you let me be?


 

Ashamed to think 

From grace I once flew

But happy to know

I’m not DOWN with you

Step lightly in the world but watch your back for wolves among sheep.
