isolation intoxication
i am the river
keep sinking through me
you stand for nothing
your sermon's filled with empty words
your mirror doesn't show you truth
a fucking coward's looking back at you
you're giving up on me
i'm giving up on you, too
take control
love in fear
grind the axe
we formed one beating heart molded by the cast
now it's in pieces haunted by the past
i'm not anyone that i know
i'm just a ghost and now i have to go
every day we're alive we're at war with what's inside
---
thumbing through photographs, he left a personal touch the keepsakes hadn't had in ages
his soiled spirit sunk into dark places, mocking him and the shovel he dug graves with
worse, he was sure he hadn't dug enough for the no-body-count he'd amassed and yet...
he tossed the nameless images with cold conviction and precision in the vindictive abandonment
oh this grave was personal, you could say "he made it his own"
only after swallowing pride could he stomach another's embrace
no longer would he present graves to those no longer present
no longer would he lock himself into the lie that he was not the key
when love meets fear, fear always wins
and a life kept secret is a forgotten death never mourned,
the secret is to let the secret out

live in secret

look away
deviate
wipe the slate
run away
so accept it
strength you thought you had was never there
they won't change their fate
so you live with hate
start it over
it's a shame that you've ceased to exist
would you still be here?
you know the answer
i can't be your spine
that's where you'll keep your knife
i'll stare right into your perfect glass eyes
spoon fed garbage from the hands of so called friends
you keep asking me for acceptance
asking more questions
beg for redemption
stab the air like there's someone there
like you can feel it inside and take the time to care
keep begging
keep searching
love in fear
live in secret
